Program Notes: My biggest challenge in life is fear of the unknown and being uncertain of the future. If there was ever a time when I didn't know what was coming, this was it. Not even 2020, but 2023 won that place. "Keep Going" is a phrase that has helped me while trying to get back on my feet. Ironically, Ryan and I created this piece while going through the biggest challenge in our relationship: separation.

I hope this piece helps you know that even during difficult times, even when we think that we shouldn't be in this world, love is always there, and we can support each other. Let's reach out to each other and be kinder. We are all hurting in some ways.

Text: Dear One,

In these challenging times,
when it’s difficult to see the sun
and the shadows whisper: “do this, don’t do that. Be like this. Why are you like that?”

When pain seems to take up more space than hope

Know this:

We all hurt
We all have scars
We all question
We all fear

But we do not need to hide.
Keep Going.

Live
Your life
Alive

We are all pieces of stars,
Embers in the fire of the universe
Clouds dancing in the sky

Please remember:

In the darkness of night
A single flame burns bright
Don’t be afraid of the unknown,
try to silence “should,”
Give the world your brilliant, beautiful light.

Keep going.

Love always,
Dear one;

Other awesome details we tell people 🙂
