“When we find ourselves overwhelmed by the fragility of it all, perhaps, at that moment, we are being reminded that yes, this life is in fact, very temporary, which is precisely why we should never take these moments for granted. And the fragility of it all is precisely why we need each other. 

Even when we feel the weight of all that is temporary, the turning of the leaves, and the reality of fleeting things, we are still free to look toward the mountains with hope. We are still free to embrace the possibility of what could be . . . what beautiful restoration might bring peace. We are free to anticipate the new beginnings that will rise beyond this chapter. Not only for us but for those who will come after. “
