Giving thanks for life: of your loved ones, your people, your country, your world.

As you sit down to share a meal with your family today, remember to tell the stories of your history, sing the songs of your people, and breathe life into your images of the future. On this day of grief and gratitude, don’t forget that you are the dream of the ancestors come to life, and that you are now responsible for dreaming future generations into being. Bring forward the dreams that live within you. Dream those dreams for yourself, and hold them is sacred space for all those who will follow.
