To envision and create a sustainable future, the infrastructure we build to care for people that care for people with serious illness must be centered in what people need.

When a life is being completed, who we are matters more than what we have.
A black dog is family.
A small home is freedom.
A star filled sky makes more sense than a university hospital.
Moment by moment, square by square, the patterns we weave are not easily seen while squinting at the tip of the needle.
A last step back to see reveals the imperfect details and the perfect whole.
Showing up, in addition to state-of-the-art medicine,
is what’s called for in response to the lived experience of when your hat’s too big and your shoes are too small.
There comes a moment when there is nothing around the corner.
Hope appears when the waiting is over.
