I loved this-

Jacqueline Novogratz TED speech, discussing her experience of people who have immersed themselves in a cause, a community, a passion for justice.

How I wish this for my kids, and for the life I have left in me.

The legacy we leave should mean more than the fact that we achieve a certain insecure suburban comfort.

So when I look at my beautiful daughter, and see the pull of peer pressure towards the destructive things that each generation lays on its young people, I have this longing to see her catch a glimpse of how short, how fragile, and yet how glorious this life is.

Immerse yourselves in the sea of humanity my love. And swim well, in the company of the weak, so that together we might be strong.
