I wrote this circa 2015. It feels farther away now than it did then, and even more important.

I have a vision of holistic and reciprocal support—for humans across the lifespan, spanning our days and weeks and years. I have a vision of individuals feeling whole, growing, and connected. I have a vision of communities that truly support individual uniqueness and human connectedness over time, with mindful attention to the delicate and magical world and universe around us.

I believe that the shifts we make in our own bodies and minds ripple out into our interactions with other people and the world around us. I believe that the shifts we make in our interactions with those closest to us ripple out into communities, countries, and beyond. I believe we need room for our whole imperfect selves, for fumbling, for forgiveness, for amends, for learning, for growth, for possibility.
