Jagriti House Assembly Report

“Within the vast expanse of the cosmos,
You are tiny, warm and pulsing spark,
Your birth was a brief awakening,
Let the breath of sweet gratitude fill you,
As the light of each new day begins.
For the moment itself, is a miracle
And to live, it is a privilege, my friend.”
