Despite any fears, discomfort, and heartbreak surrounding us, it is also a phenomenal period of grace, awareness, and strong connections. WE ARE ONE during this pandemic, and beyond. WE ARE ONE on this planet, and beyond. WE ARE ONE with a fighting spirit to help loved ones, our communities, and beyond. WE ARE ONE with a loving spirit for the truth, beauty, and health of the collective. There is no need for any distinction of race, ethnicity, religion, politics, wealth, gender...because ultimately WE ARE ONE. Love is powerful. My father noted how this is a painting of the “mountaineer grip." I find this is a hand embrace of love, connection, power, and strength, but it also has value beyond all material wealth because it is lifesaving.
