>From _The Return of the King_:
> “What do you fear, lady?” he asked. “A cage,” she said. “To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”

Remember that today is all we have in this life, and even that is not for granted. I’m glad you all came to get better this morning, but don’t let it stop there. Take the strength you build here and bring that back to your friends, families, communities, and workplaces. Make the most of the time we’re all blessed with in the ways that matter most.
