Yeah, and when I'm up there, oh my gosh, it just, there's just a grounding.

And like those islands are rocks.

They've been there, you know, for centuries before us.

And other humans have walked those paths long before I did, you know, hundreds of years ago.

And I just, you just feel a grounding and a settledness.

And that's when I feel like I can sort of feel some of these people that I've known or who've come before me.

Last question.

Okay.

Okay.

Hope, always hope.

And when I'm really in despair is probably some of the best times to go out and see community work, either in the United States or in another country.

When you see people helping one another and you see people saying, you know what, I can make sure this kid gets on this path, or I'm going to tutor that kid, or I'm going to show up and serve in the food line on a cold day, right?

It just reminds you that our humanity, there's so much hope in the world.

There's so much goodness.

And so a lot of times, you know, I have to get off my screen as we all do these days.

And I need to go out and see hope in the world.

And that really, really lifts me up and helps me.

Totally.

And we all have it.

We have time.
