Breathless expectation

To all my friends at CSC and those friends I have yet to meet;

May your summer be beautiful, like the stars as they move,
That your faith may hold you, as a mother and child crossing the street,
That your Hope may burn bright, as the fire you dance around,
That your love may move, for it is in the moving that we give words their meanings and actions to the heart,

That you may stand to those things that would have you be pushed and pulled to a place outside of your very own destiny,
That you would laugh, love, live free and sing, (ANBERLIN)
And that your heart would be Alive,
So alive that others follow you for the light you posses,
So Alive, you radiate love and romanticize peace.

So to reiterate the message of TWLOHA; every one of us has a story.  It's completely unique to us, like our finger prints.  Each story ebbs and flows, each story is full of mountain top screams of joy, and bottom of the ocean drowning, dwindling life.  Yet we choose to live, because we are Alive.  The greatest gift is to truly live.  I hope everyone has the people and experiences in their life this summer to help them do just that. 

And in learning and living your own story, that you have the courage to step out, in breathless expectation, to go wherever your Hopeful dreams and Bold heart would lead you... (ellipses)
