Nowruz feels different this year.
As we gather around the Haft-Seen and welcome a new year, many of us are carrying heavy hearts for Iran and for everyone affected by conflict, loss, and uncertainty.
Even far from home, home lives within us, in our language, our traditions, our memories, and the way we continue to hold on to hope.
Today is a reminder that renewal does not always come in ease. Sometimes it begins in resilience, in unity, and in the quiet decision to keep believing in better days ahead.
May this Nowruz bring peace to those who are hurting, strength to those who are carrying more than words can say, and hope for brighter days for Iran and for all who are longing for healing.
