encompassing warm palms; charming grins and passionate eyes; fingers running through golden fur, the sound of a bark early in the morning; a clock that reads 5:30 AM; the sounds of applause, eloquent words falling off lips; the shuffle of papers late in the night; voice trembling with kindness and fury alike; confident steps echoing along the walls of corridors; tired sighs released in secret; the solitude of a car ride; the smell of apple pie wafting through the house. 

    “When the world is not good enough, you roll up your sleeves and change it. When people are small minded and greedy, you open your heart and show them another way. When all seems against you, you put on a smile and keep going. If nobody did that, progress would be abandoned before it got a chance to take root.”
