I’m thankful for so much, but the last couple weeks have reminded me just how fortunate I am. I am not in Yemen. I am not in Syria. I’ve never had a gun pointed at me. For the accidents of chance that made me Canadian and all the other heaps of advantages that have made my life, compared to so many, so easy. For my family. For my true friends and new friends. For my work. For the things that went right and the things that gave me the opportunity to learn.
May I, through my own journey of learning, help others to learn as well. May I leave this world just slightly better off than it was when I arrived. And may the day of that departure be a long, long way off.
Peace.
Amen.
