as we prepare to gather together in a few days

often with all kinds of people

 often anticipating how it will go

 often happily surprised.

it’s the things, that against all odds, we have in common.”

“this is the power of gathering

it inspires us – delightfully

to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful

in a word, more alive.”
