We are here today because we have been deliberating over
the question Maya Angelou asked:
"Is making a living the same
thing as making a life?"
We have become consumed with the pursuit of things
and the validation of others. We buy more and more
homes but have never been more homeless. To make
matters worse, society has become polarized into the
haves and the have-nots.
How we spend our time and whom we spend it with are the
most precious things we have. People matter more than things,
and experiences matter more than anything. Just as music is
the sound between the notes rather than the notes itself,
