Vi, that was so rich and wise...thank you for sharing that. It's important to remember to put our individual daily lives into perspective...we're truly all in this together. Learning, transitioning, teaching, living, loving, yearning...no one of us is alone in whatever pain or angst we're going through. The ripples of our choices and behaviours ripple out so much further than we can imagine. Which makes kindness a vital key to bridging our differences, which too often foster friction and hatred instead of celebration and respect.

Vi, it has been such an honour to be allowed to companion you on this journey that you've been making in this thread. It has been a rare and enriching experience being here with you.
