FDS Insight Newsletter Oct-Dec 2020

56 (1) I want to sing and climb on stars, gravity I want to do a handstand on the moon and dip my feet in the pacific. I want to cover miles to grasp a notion of what infinity means. I want to cover my dreams in ink and repel you with my pen. I want to hide in my poem and sleep with my own inspiration. But I’m stuck here with you gravity. And I’m bearing your weight for you. (2) Thoughtless but provoked to think Empty but forced full Lame but expected to carry Simple but demandingly complex Creative but left without canvas Anxious but made to sit Different but pressured to conform (3) Miracles are sometimes stretched few and far between hardships. And though battles may rage in our communities and though our hearts keen sense of injustice may be felt; when miracles surface, they will carry us back to refuge. And what may seem like everlasting gloom now, Will once again appear to be that flawless limelight that will again guide us home.
