I lift myself OObeyond the evidence OOof my senses.
I go to the frontier OOof my world OOand I see beyond.
I know OOwe can be more.
I know OOwe can do more OOand better
I know OOwe are One,
Yes, OOsequestered OOin time OOblinded OOby circumstance.
Still, OOI know we are more. OOWe are better.
I know there is more OOand better OOfor all of us.
We can live OOwith love, joy, peace, OOand purpose.
We can OOsafely pursue our dreams.
I don’t give up.
I find another way. OOMore and better OOrequire that.
I serve.
