Wonderful and inspirational. You have a wonderful way of making one pause in life and reflect. It is truly a gift.
The column is a great reminder of many things - one is to read more poetry, two is to act always with intention, and three, I believe that you are describing another key characteristic which in many ways is a blend of the other ones you cite, and that is the accumulation of wisdom.
Deep and spot on “The important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day. That is real freedom. That is being educated and understanding how to think.

Thanks for writing and sharing. I resonated with the following:

Joy, Appreciation and Kindness. The way to move forward in this chaotic age.
Thank you.
