As someone who has always been in many respects an outsider, I have had a long-standing compelling wish to reach my arms around those who might feel disconnected, to make people feel themselves part of a wide embrace. This spirit has permeated my road through life, vocationally and personally.

One thing I have found is that the energy that goes into that embrace needs to have some seasons. Or at least it does at my age.
I do live by a feeling of connection, even if I am at a distance, and want others to feel it whether or not arms are explicitly reaching out. Each of us is part of that assembly of spirited creation and action, one of multitudes living and making side by side across space and time. I wish for us all to feel that and do work toward it continuously.

Wow, what a gorgeous description of you modus operandi, Fritzie. It's like a metta meditation.
