Push - The First Motion of Reach.

I remember my uncle coaching little league and minor league baseball. He had a gift for developing pitchers — not just their arms, but their whole approach. When he trained them, he repeated one phrase over and over:

“Push.”

It wasn’t only about mechanics. Yes, he wanted them to dig in with their legs, drive forward, and send the ball with more force and intention. But it was also something deeper — a call to bring everything inside you to the moment. A call to not give up. A call to extend yourself.

That word stayed with me.

Because “Push” is the beginning of every reach.

It’s the moment where effort meets desire.

Where the body commits before the outcome is known.

Where you decide to move toward what you want instead of waiting for it to come to you.

That’s why Reach exists in the Sanctuary.

His steady glare, his forward lean, his hand stretching toward what’s already within range — it’s the same message my uncle gave those pitchers:

Push.

Extend.

Reach for your goal.

Some thresholds don’t open until you lean into them.
