I’m playing with video because, y’know, if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth at least a couple thousand. Includes terrific words on forgiveness by poet David Whyte.

    Love seeing you, hearing you, feeling present with you across time and space.

    Love the poem. Forgive ourselves. Yes.

    “something is better than nothing” In our house we say “it was more than zero” Your video was definitely worth more than a couple thousand words. Well done!
