When we stop believing in everything that others tell us to believe in and start believing in something constructed by our own reality through the principles and morals we hold within our core being. It is there that we construct new ideas about the world around us. Negativity is contagious and we must combat it with positivity. We must look for and expect the good in people to shine through. It is there that we teach one another how to love, feel, and simply just be. In doing so we set ourselves free.
"Whoever you are: step out of doors tonight,
Out of the room that lets you feel secure.
Infinity is open to your sight.
Whoever you are.
With eyes that have forgotten how to see
From viewing things already too well-known,
Lift up into the dark a huge, black tree
And put it in the heavens: tall, alone.
And you have made the world and all you see.
It ripens like the words still in your mouth.
And when at last you comprehend its truth,
Then close your eyes and gently set it free."
Entrance
Dana Gioia
