It's the crux of life, of holding something in my hand for a moment and then — it's gone.

Like others, I’ve lost people and animals I loved, failed at relationships, felt utterly disappointed with humanity, lost parts of my body to cancer, and watched the ongoing destruction of nature.

And because of these things, I understand: The joy and wonder in the world are infinitely precious, and I must notice and invite it in.
