<blockquote><p>Trouble comes—and we must simply live above it.</p></blockquote>



<p>When a day feels hard,
 remember this:</p>

<p>We are more than our bodies.</p>

<p>We are beings of light —</p>

<p>thoughtful,
radiant,
alive.</p>

<p>We are creators and dreamers.
Music makers.
Book lovers.
Keepers of stories.
Raisers of hearts.
Carriers of grace.</p>

<p>Dancers.
Writers.
Artists.
Lovers.</p>

<p>Minds full of wonder.
Works in progress.
Potential—our worth
unmeasurable by
what we provide,
what we perform,
or what they see on the surface.</p>

<p>All this world is a stage,
and we each have only
our hour upon it.
Let us spend that hour
celebrating who we are.</p>

<p>Not things
to be owned.
Embers glowing,
waiting for breath
to become flame.</p>

<p>Not vessels
to be emptied.
Rather, vineyards —
rooted, growing, and alive.</p>

<p>Every word spoken in truth,
every song offered into the night,
every kindness given
in another’s storm —
these things remain.</p>

<p>May we be seen
beyond our bodies.
Smiles bearing spirits
from one heart to another.</p>

<p>Let our giving come from
the hearth of our soul,
Where we are learning
to be like God.</p>

<p>And when the lights grow dim,
may His voice in the silence say:</p>

<p>&#39;I see you.
You are whole.
You are beloved.&#39;</p>
