IN TRANSITU in this issue
We are marching onward. Treading lightly, but with our heads held high. Fare thee well, season of light. Your time was lovely, but has come to an end. Before us comes the blessing of changing leaves, glorious golds, and soft dawning lights covered and marked by crisp air. Oh the delicate Autumn unfolds, and we crave initia nova, new beginnings. They bring us up and bring us around to the tall tales of “What if ’s?” or “Will I’s?” and the possibilities of absolutely anything. Forward still, the very nature of Autumn herself is transition, change, movement from summer to winter, and so much so - a reflection of life. We all battle edge of desire and reality, but it is the in-between that truly defines us. We are who we are, and we become who we become because of what our desires have asked of us. Collectively and without knowing it, we are all In Transitu and waiting to not be in this present moment. Then, interestingly enough, one day we wake up and realize our dreams have altered and evolved because we have. Life is consistently in transitu. Whether it is saturated in pain, sweetness, or both, it is apparent that it is still so very beautiful, and one only arrives at these crossroads through a life of journey. We present to you the In Transitu issue. These pages are honest and rich in the finer things in life while lending insight into the world of philanthropic lifestyle, behavior, and culture. We showcase the marvelous stories of world changers, who are shaped by their adventures, passions, and dedication. They have captivated us and left us wanting to be better people. Indulge and may your perspectives be altered and fires ignited with each turning page. IN TRANSITU = JOURNEY. Elena Baxter, Co-founder & Chief Marketing Officer
