Pain takes so many forms, and they are not easy. Being human includes experiencing pain. Loving includes experiencing pain. Weariness can be pain. Depression can be pain.

But without pain, there can be no hope, no love, no human kindness, no salvation, no warm and loving connections with one another.

HOPE: Hold On, Pain Ends.

Your life, your connection to others, your humanity enriches us all.

Holding you in the Light. You are stronger than you know.

trustingly,
Bright
