In which we learn about life and love from Winnie the Pooh and Friends
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.”
-Winnie the Pooh, A.A. Milne

What Then Must We Do?
Focus: “We must learn to acknowledge that the creation is full of mystery; we will never entirely understand it. We must abandon arrogance and stand in awe. We must recover the sense of the majesty of creation, and the ability to be worshipful in its presence. For I do not doubt that it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world that our species will be able to remain in it.” – Wendell Berry
Are You There God?
Focus: “I call upon you, O Lord; come quickly to me; give ear to my voice when I call to you.” Psalm 141:1
Returning Home
Focus: “The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.” Maya Angelou
