What if?

I believe the two most powerful words could possibly be, “What If?” They hold curiosity and possibility. The collection of What If statements below represent an ongoing journey to explore what kind of world we might be able to create. Which of these inspire you to try something new?

  • … we embraced uncertainty and lived life comforted by mystery

  • … we stayed curious and open to all truths

  • … we offered grace as our natural response to everyone we meet

  • … we stripped off the masks that prevent others from seeing our true selves

  • … we lived life in peace rather than wanting to die in peace

  • … we trusted ourselves enough to take the risks that hold us back

  • … we honored both the time-earned wisdom of elders and the joyful innocence of youth with the same reverence
