May this story offer you some peace during this holiday season. Know that your loved ones are just a breath away.

We are always exactly where we need to be.

Isn’t this us? Each, one light. Put together, we are all a big beautiful ring of fire. Light shining all around...

This is how it is; your loved ones are never too far away. They see you, they guide you, they help nudge you...

Thinking is not what moves us 5,000 miles from home. Love is.

This magical interconnectedness that exists within us all is fascinating and wonderous and well, just plain cool.
