“There is always light.
Only if we are brave enough to see it.
There is always light.
Only if we are brave enough to be it.”
Amanda Gorman

“We've learned that quiet isn't always peace.”
Amanda Gorman, Call Us What We Carry

“We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
to one another
We seek harm to none and harmony for all
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried”
Amanda Gorman, Call Us What We Carry
