I'm grateful that there are people in the world that are curious about compassion, curious about how we increase the justice quotient, who are willing to be learners and then doers in building a world with more justice, more mercy, and more love.

Thank you.

What an incredible life you have lived.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

I, um...

I feel really privileged in some ways to have been able to do what I've done.

This is wonderful.

Thank you.

You really, really made this easy.

Well, thank you.

Our hope is what can sustain us when things look bleak and difficult.

And that is the reason why I believe that hopelessness is the enemy of justice.

Justice will prevail if we allow ourselves to give in to hopelessness.

Hope is our superpower.

It's the thing that will get some of us to stand up even when people say sit down.

It will get some of us to speak even when people say be quiet.

It's the thing that will get us to believe we can do things that maybe other people think we can't do.

I have to give it to my clients, and I can't give someone something I don't have.

And so for me, it's an orientation of the Spirit.
