For many of us this year in/on Earth School has been one of the most dynamic, growth intensive, unexpected, precarious years of our lives. Equally intense as it is delicate, with the weight of the world on our hearts. Each facing victory and defeat, tears and laughter, hatred and love. The truth is, through all of this turmoil we’ve faced each and every challenge that arose this year, at whatever capacity we were able. Today as the leaves settle around us, we’re still here, still standing our ground. Even if that means only seeking to persist until the next rise of our sun. 

Still, I think that this is just the beginning. The time is ripe to expect significant endings and beginnings.
