The rocks around her chanted like slow, growling bells, and each curl of the water stroked her fins with silky notes. She'd been so afraid of leaving her tribe, but she understood that she never would have heard the music resonating out of every crook of the world if she hadn't taken so many risks. She'd opened her heart to the music of solitude, and it had come to her. Sarah Porter

And though you were born alone, you found a reason and the strength to shake yourself, though as helpless as you were at birth, for the whole universe to hear and know that you have not just arrived, but you are healthy, and you commended and moved things and people around you with your cry, even as an infant! And though it all seems you are alone, note that once you can breathe, you are never alone! Smile, for there is an indomitable power within you, given to you by God! Realize your God, realize your power! Awake and realize your true strength and the strong power within you! Face life and do not just challenge the challenges in life but conquer them with all boldness and fortitude. Step by step, complete the steps! It is always not all that easy, but, be strong and beat life no matter what! . Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Caught in the riptide of incompleteness, we suffer terribly. Kilroy J. Oldster

A person must not rue ouster from society because release from moral and societal constraints spurs learning and advanced consciousness. Kilroy J. Oldster

In a few moments he came into the core of himself, where he was alone, and felt strangely companioned, not by anyone or anything, but by himself.
