Days pass one way another, whether you’re upset or sad or recovering or happy. It’s good to spend these days with family while you’re figuring it all out.

Speaking of, you have to hand it to us clever monkeys: we have figured a lot of things out. What’s struck me recently is this balance—we rest on the shoulders of giants, and we too often take that for granted, but we also have so much more to determine and discover, and know so incredibly little.

It’s living in this balance that can be so difficult as we navigate through life. While we keep loved ones close, we can pursue that beautiful balance.
