print of a small, beaming bird sitting on a hand. Text: I am not okay today. So, in the absence of okay, what else can I be? I can be gentle. I can be unashamed I can turn my pain into connection. I can be a student of stillness. I can be awake to nature. I can sharpen my empathy against the stone of my discomfort. I am not okay today, but I am many worthy things. Jarod K. Anderson
