Summary: Inspired by a quotation from Thomas Carlyle




Take this pebble
for a moment

Walking with intent toward a goal
I bring it one step nearer

Every action I take is mine to make
every dream is mine to dream

Every mark on paper a gesture of freedom
every word a thought made and shared

To affirm this life
and make it happen

'...casting the pebble from my hand
the centre of gravity of the universe changes.'
