Dear friends,

Being with these two beautiful humans was such a gift. Lanecia and Josh are incredible thinkers, the kind of people I could talk all day with. How lucky am I to live with one of them! I loved the way Lanecia talked about imagining and creating “a more human dwelling place,” how art making is an act of remembrance and future-making. I loved Josh’s insight that reckoning is what happens when we refuse to remember.

We (humans) have a dynamic, life giving role to play in this unfolding universe, but we get to choose how we reckon with our history that has divided us and reimagine a future that includes all.

Thank you for being with us! Holly, Josh, & Lanecia
