I want to tell you about the world

we hope to live in.

A world that’s welcoming,

where we all belong.

Not a world that is static and stuck,

full of abstractions and ideas;

rather a world of compassion and love.

A place of belonging and hope,

where every puppy, plant and person

awakens each morning to a wondrous day.

(Originally published June 1, 2016)

A world full of enthusiasm and zest.

This is all I have to say.
