Diversity

Different           Be vulnerable yet invincible

Individuals       and at the same time

Valuing             be strong yet weak and

Each other         be drunk but sober,

Regardless of    staying high but grounded

Skin                    and stable but chaotic.

Intellect        

Talents or           Love yourself first and

Years                   everything else falls

                            into line and know that

                            you cannot be comfortable

                            without your own approval.

      

                             It is not about taking that

                             first step but in making sure

                             that a first step can

                             be found.

 

                              Know that the pen that

                              writes your life's story

                              must be held in your

                              own hands.                               Jon York              2013
