In the search for identity and a connection to something larger, this week’s quote from Gwendolyn Brooks points us in the direction of what matters: each other. Veronica explains how a sense of meaning is inherent in the relationships we have with each other as we are all connected in a network of mutuality, as Martin Luther King Jr. says.

In light of these important connections, it becomes clear that what we do for each other is what matters. Investing in each other gives us meaning. This interconnection amplifies the best of us, making small acts profound and contributing to purpose that extends beyond our own individual lives. Every improvement we make in our private world improves the world at large.
