From surfing on the ocean waves
to treading through a sand desert,
over thousands of stony steps on mountains,
under the shadows in between concrete buildings,
stories were witnessed, relationships were explored, and philosophies were tested.
Shooting stars collided, molten iron struck, and heavy doors opened.
What so far remains true: ever-contagious smile of joy, undeniable sweat from humble diligence, and ever-shining glimmer of hope.
