I am a physician, a patient, an advocate for a healthcare system that hears and heals, a sometimes-poet and writer, a beginner in contemplative practice, and a forever fan of gentle and earnest and hopeful and bright-eyed people everywhere.
This world is so often disappointing and confusing and devastating and horrifying. And it is also wondrous and breathtaking and loving and utterly precious. May we stay tender and kind and brave and clear-sighted. May we know joy, even through struggle.
