The horrific death toll of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria reminds us of an ever-present possibility:
Suddenly, life turns itself upside down.
Whether through a shared tragedy on a scale as large as the earthquake, a deeply personal loss, or a small but irreversible shift in our understanding, life regularly reinvents itself without warning.
And when it does our question is always: who do we want to be, in that moment?
A helper, or a heckler?
A leader, or an obstructor?
A fearmonger, or a purveyor of hope?
That moment of sudden change is happening, right now, for someone in your (our) lives. Someone you (we) love woke up in an upside-down world today.
Decide where you want to stand, and root yourself there, with compassion and love.
It’s our only way to hold on: together.
Thank you for standing in your truth.
