the impenetrable darkness
before the dawn
is a reminder
to keep going;
the blackness is complete,
yet the light still comes,
first in small hints
upon the horizon
then bold pinks
and fiery oranges
explode across the sky
driving out the night;
the sun always rises,
so too shall we

Endurance
Wealth
do not limit yourself
to the life in your mind,
open it;
experience your surroundings,
seek out the good;
give others a chance,
find they are more
than your assumptions,
give them the opportunity
to surprise -
and let yourself be surprised -
open yourself
to their stories -
listen,
hear them -
capture more wealth
than you had ever dreamed
for having let them in
