Here’s to the power that permeates the matter of this universe, infinite and indomitable. Here’s to the force that can move mountains, conquer the skies, and control the direction of the winds. It is a power “greater than all of our fears and superstitions combined,” in the words of Napoleon Hill. When I hear the music that is the product of this power, when I see the people who have against all odds triumphed and harnessed the intangible forces of the ether, I smile, and in that moment, I am unafraid. I am unafraid of the tallest heights and the steepest trails. My soul is a vessel, and I do not fear the darkest, deepest waters I must traverse. I am unmoved by the snapping jaws and the sharp teeth that others may call “dangerous.” I shall follow the light in my heart ’till the end, and give no thought to the limitations existing in the mind of the common man.
