Adversity
o Adversity is an advanced university.
o Adversity challenges us to rise and respond, like the sun and the moon respond by rising daily, no matter what.
o We can respond to adversity with solidarity.
o We can respond to low blow with head high.
o May adversity not close us, not numb us, not harden us. May we read between the lines: ‘Wake up, all of us!’
o When facing adversity, both acceptance and action help.
