They bring unique perspective garnered over the years with good colleagues and friends in wide-ranging layers of organizations, systems, and learning communities.

Quote that Quanita shared by Hafiz: “Don't surrender your loneliness so quickly. Let it cut you more deep. Let it ferment and season you as few humans and even divine ingredients can. Something missing in my heart tonight has made my eyes so soft, my voice so tender, my need for God absolutely clear.”

Poem that Tenneson shared from his book, “Most Mornings”:

Splitting Wood

Tenneson Woolf

They split the wood,

these five men working together.

One man, with long grayed beard and kind eyes,

operated the wood splitter.

Two men lifted large tree stumps,

to place just so under the chop of the modern axe.

Two men collected the split wood in wheelbarrow

to transport and stack neatly in covered shed.

This was not hard work, these five men splitting wood,

to warm many a winter morning.

This was good work, these five men helping each other,

stacking friendship, warmth, and memory.
