So, this week, we begin with a twist to create our common thought space for today. In the words of Isabel Wilkerson in her interview with Krista Tippet on NPR entitled The Heart is the Last Frontier. And I Quote, “With all due respect, I can’t want to!” For some, this is the best of times. For others, it feels like the worst of times. For the wise, it is seen as one season in history.

A legacy may take many forms – children, grandchildren, a business, an ideal, a book, a community, a home, or some piece of ourselves. Our legacy naturally intrigues us.

It is, in part, selfish – we want to feel immortal. We also……
