In the summer's heat


In the summer's heat of a dying light, the faintest of heart, the heaviest of breaths.

Not as though, that one would delight in a trial so demanding;

Enjoying every hardship that comes with seemingly frivolous tasks.

Exactly what is this task? Where does this enjoyment come from?

Determiniation.

Motivation.

Ongoing pursuit of greatness within the boundaries of my own life as well as the impact my work has on those around me...

Not only, does this act bring me the prosperity of knowing the endurement I have faced, but it allows me to communicate 

Especially in ways that are not verbal, nor physical, nor emotional. To that the untrained eye may think, what deed so meaningful justifies the 

Yonder dreams of one so young? Music. Through a community, through personal growth, through development in one's learning. That is worth it all.
