Heartbroken to hear about the death of Representative John Lewis. There was no better example of heroism and patriotism. The good trouble will continue because of the man who showed us how it’s done.

"We get so wrapped up in numbers in our society. The most important thing is that we are able to be one-to-one, you and I with each other at the moment. If we can be present to the moment with the person that we happen to be with, that's what's important."

Prayers up for Damar Hamlin 🙏🙏
