"Life is harsh, crazy, capricious and unjust and wondrous, surprising, bountiful, and beautiful. Both are true. How we navigate these realities is the challenge of living today. We cannot adhere only to despair else we dismiss all that is life-giving. Nor can we deny the awfulness of life; that would be delusional. We must find a way, within ourselves, and with each other to acknowledge, recognize and diminish the dark wherever we can while elevating the good."
Maria Sirois
