Good morning. The sun has risen to greet us with intense rays of wisdom and light. We have plenty of reasons to rise as well. The power we obtain for the light will help us get through the haunted mazes and mysterious darkness that awaits in many of our establishments these days. Not to fear , these spirits provide us the strength that possess the wisdom of times past. We walk on our forbearers legacies and honor the skies through light and darkness. Song and dance is a common thread that can bond us with those spirits. The energies are all around us to take in.
