“Maang-ikwe told me one night how I had sprung from a place of desire, anger, and fear. But my mother also told me, “It does not matter how we begin. It matters how we end.” She pointed out, “Pain brings a richer harvest than contentment.” I think she was right. For as I look around at the people present, I am thankful for the harvest of lives which came birthed from painful places.”
