family.

sometimes i stop to think and i can't help but cry out with joy.
i am so blessed.

the things we give this world will come back manyfold. the things we make but do not own turn out to be our greatest assets. the roots we grow from, and the leaves we will sprout, tie us to the earth, to heaven, and to one another.

no wind is strong enough to topple our fortitude, no flood great enough to wash away our conviction.

turn us away, and we turn toward one another. attract us individually, and receive us as a swarm.
