"Whether we live or die, we have no souls."

- Lebanese refugee (2024)

I often ponder my role in this world, as I have been so many things.  Perhaps finding ones purpose takes half a lifetime, but shaping ones destiny can happen in small ways every day. The greatest quality of a skilled person is not the skill , but that it is practiced with virtue.  Without virtue, we devolve into our lesser selves.  Without knowledge, we are just stabbing one another in the dark.

with love and fortitude,

- Parker
