Floating like a silver raft
in space, and we see the face of our planet anew.
We relish the view;
We witness its round green and brilliant blue,
Which inspires us to ask deeply, wholly:
What can we do?
Open your eyes.
Know that the future of
this wise planet
Lies right in sight:
Right in all of us. Trust
this earth uprising.
-Excerpt from Earthrise, by Amanda Gorman

“Caint no one know at sunrise, how this day is going to end. Caint no one know at sunset if the next day will begin.” -Sweet Honey in the Rock, from “Spiritual,” lyrics by Ysaye M. Barnwell

Whenever I see yellow tulips, I think of one particular friend who loves them a lot. Whenever she has the chance, she will buy a bouquet of yellow tulips and keep them in her kitchen. That bit of brightness starts and ends her day.

How can you bring some brightness into your life today?
