“Preparing for death is one of the most empowering things you can do. Thinking about death clarifies your life.”

“Our public spaces are as profound as we allow them to be. They are our shared spaces and reflect what matters to us as a community and as individuals. … At their greatest, our public spaces can nourish our well-being and help us see that we’re not alone as we try to make sense of our lives.

With more ways to share in public space, the people around us can not only help us make better places, they can help us become our best selves.”
