Be—

Be the rock, the source of strength—for yourself and for other people. Firm, tough, unyielding.

Be the anchor that keeps the head and heart steady, when rough waters threaten to pull and devour.

Be the blanket that feels like warm embrace, that brings comfort and security when uncertainty courts anxious thoughts.

Be the quiet solitude, where peace resides, where the soul recovers, where wonder and hope and life are rekindled.

Be strong and warm. Push and nurture. Journey and rest.

Become all those for yourself. And become the inspiration for others to do the same.
