Happy Sunday!<\/p>\n

I have a feeling you Insiders have been as powerfully moved by the Artemis II crew as I have. What struck me most is this: They went all the way to the edge of the Moon\u2026and what they discovered wasn\u2019t out there.<\/p>\n

It was us.<\/p>\n

From that distance, the noise of life\u2014the striving, the proving, the separating\u2014were all gone. There are no titles in space. No divisions. Just our glowing, beautiful Earth suspended in blackness.<\/p>\n

Astronaut Christina Koch described Earth not as a planet but as something far more intimate: She called it a lifeboat in the vast darkness of space.<\/p>\n

I loved how all four astronauts were in awe of there being no borders, making it clear that everything we fight over exists on a thin layer of blue. And that layer is all we have.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, all the everyday stuff that consumes us and feels so urgent reveals itself for what it is: temporary and often trivial. What we really have is what has always mattered: how we care for one another; how we tend to our fragile, often confused and chaotic home; and how we choose to show up while we\u2019re here.<\/p>\n

And what about those glorious photos of our Earth home? Did you imagine yourself on your little plot as I did? But the astronauts didn\u2019t just return with images of the Moon. They came back with a deeper knowing. That we belong to each other, and we are responsible for what we\u2019ve been given.<\/p>\n

All week, I found myself moving through my day as if seeing Earth from afar, and letting that perspective soften what doesn\u2019t matter and sharpen what does.<\/p>\n

I’m wondering, Insiders: If you could see your life from that distance, what would you choose to hold closer, and what would you finally let go?<\/p>\n
