It has been a beautiful week in NY in all of the ways that it usually is, the pulse of city, the warmth I always am lucky enough to experience from New Yorkers who have come from all over the world to seek their fortunes and the vibrancy that is NYC to it’s core. Unlike other trips I have also allowed myself to feel the weight and gravity of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 which is today and the ways in which all of our lives have changed as a result. It has made me teary at times thinking back to the day, the tragedy that unfolded unlike any other we had experienced and subsequently how it changed the world and contributed to our current struggles. As I have walked the NY streets on my way to here and there, rushing as one does in the city and in our country I am reminded of that which has most importance. This is the way in which each of us has grace for one another on a daily and hourly basis and in every tiny moment that you share with a stranger. Our world is fragmented partially as a result of not seeing one another, not noticing your neighbor as you go about your day, taking stock of what may be happening around you. Please keep your head up and eyes open when you walk down the street on your way to fulfill your dreams, share a smile, a bright eye, hold out a hand when someone literally needs it, share a sandwich, a laugh, don’t wait. Show your fellow human that you see them and that you care and I swear things will be better if you do. Thinking of you all today as we remember and honor all of those who were heroic and brave and who lost precious loved ones, health and feelings of safety and comfort. Wishing you all the moments of being seen, loved and nurtured.❤️
