A prayer for Paris

“...to all of you around the world who have taught us that witnessing the world’s troubles isn’t depressing but inspiring- because crises bring out the innate helpfulness in people, and because side by side with the worst of humanity, you see the best.”*

You can not tell me there isn't someone out there- you haven't met yet, you would absolutely adore.

This is your day.

Although other days may seem scattered, full of responsibility and heavied, this day is yours.

Dance, be light.
