What a beautiful read, Kassi! I’ve had similar thoughts lately. Finding moments to just be present in nature is what’s helped me most too.

Kassi, this was breathtaking, raw, reflective, and so deeply human. You named the tension of our times with such clarity: the weight of every choice, the mourning of what’s been lost, and the ache of witnessing so much at once. That final image of the geese, still gathering, still calling, offered a kind of soul-level reminder that not all is lost. That line: “they haven’t forgotten the sheer delight of being alive.” I’ll carry that today. Thank you for holding this with such poetic grace.

Thank you for this piece and capturing this odd time we find ourselves in…and for bringing in the geese as a reminder to look up once in awhile.
