In the midst of division and fear,
in the wake of injustice and chaos,
hope remains the strongest thing we have—
fostering the will to keep going,
keep healing,
keep transforming.

That is the hard work.
There is no guarantee
you'll be accepted
where you're going.
But you must stay true to what’s real.

Continue to blaze a trail.
Continue to be you.

When you live purely and honestly,
you empower others to do the same.

Thoughts are proof you're still here.
Joy is proof you haven’t given up.

Your heart and mind will save you—
and us too.
