when we see something in passing; in error we think we understand
upon reflection the picture’s a bit hazy if it did happen
if we turn our backs for just a moment, nature pretends we’re not here
be alert, prepared take each threat seriously be safe and have fun
in a new notebook the first blank page is open to what’s possible
history tells us that today will always be unlike yesterday
how we start the day is as individual as our fingerprints
what seems obvious when seen without its context will be incomplete
the greatest power is in the imagining of what we don’t know
the path up ahead has the answers to questions i haven’t thought of
