blown away by mankind's generosity.

Different as we all may be, there is potential in all of us for generosity, kindness and big-hearted-ness. Our planet may be home to stunning gorges, beautiful lakes, dramatic mountains, colorful flowers and be a vantage point for starry night skies, but it is the people that makes this home.

"Home is portable, internal, connected to and enriched by people and memory. Every incarnation of a home carries gestures from a past one, but not only in the inevitable haul of curios, the statuettes and trays. [...] The danger in choosing not to make contact with others seems so much larger than the danger in doing so. Making room in our lives for more people is what we are meant to do, even if they eventually leave, or we do. Remaining open to what may come. Enlarging a sense of home, one small risk at a time"
