Favorite Quote:
The thing about a story is that you dream it as you tell it, hoping that others might dream along with you, and in this way memory, imagination, and language combine to make spirits in the head.
--Tim O'Brien


You are the vanguard

Trailblaze and ride

Spearhead the beaten

Bright-faced, wide-eyed

 

Unknowns but an ocean 

That you've yet to sail

Seize the helm and flag

And in your mind avail

 

Weave threads between your ears

Command lightening spark the flame

Stand proud, new captain

Mount the waves of your shame

 

Release yourself abroad

Bid others match your speed

For you are the vanguard

And you, my dear, will lead.
