📜 Quote For The Week Ahead
Births, marriages, deaths, love, grief, joy, losses, discoveries— the details may be different, but there is a universal pattern to human life. Stoics urge us to find the beauty in these grand rhythms of life, reminding us what an honor it is to be part of this vast and magnificent cosmic story.
