and memories of things I never knew
WORDS FOR A NEW STORY
Order is just a story. Being is love.
My Vision
We all hold gifts that we must give to the world. We cannot do this alone. We must witness each other and in that witnessing, remember love. We hold the power to heal each other and therefore, ourselves.
I would love to hear from you! You can share your words or point towards the voices of others who might resonate.
