“Many times in life,

each person who enters our life comes bearing a gift.

For some, it is a gift of love.

For others, a gift of healing.

And for others, a gift of wisdom.

Welcome all,

and trust that though you may not recognize it in the present

one day when you look back on how you transformed

from meeting them,

you will find it,

or you will find it

in their absence.”
