When the call to adventure
is to find meaning
within every small thing.

To use the raw
materials of life
to forge a story
out of the ordinary. 

Seeing all the wrong
in this world
and still knowing,
even at endings,
there is always
reason for hope.

Feeling with every fiber
that being and believing
are the dawn and death
that give us depth
to this strange
experience we call
being human.
