"We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion."

                                              ~ Max de Pree   

This principle seems clear and obvious, simple and true for me. You? 

But practicing this often requires reverence for ourselves and others and hope-filled trust in the goodness of life and for what is unfolding among us. 

Bringing reverence and hope into this day, may we experience the beauty of "ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion." 

With gratitude, 
Charlene
