“We struggle each day making choices for our children and for ourselves while we are also aware we are creating our future. I wonder: what is missing since it seems there is so much here, yet somehow I feel disconnected from the most simple & fulfilling experiences that gave my whole being a sense of wonder and respect for life when I was a child? I believe this project will provide us with a renewed sense we are alive and all of us remain connected to each other in our world today. Possibly, it is one of the most important ways to simply re connect meaningfully with others while sharing a sense of hope in own lives and beyond.”
