Surfing a rift in time, beyond a vector sunrise, a small spherical craft emerges… approaching light speed. The change that we create. Is the difference that we make. It,s the purpose that we choose, as our change inspires the groove. It’s a feeling in your heart never stops once it starts. Silent voice cast from the stars.. whispers who and where we are. So to guide us on our trip. In we tune the mother ship. In the groove of change we twirl, roundabout A changing world. It’s the change that renders life, so essential to survive. Not the same ole song and dance, change a choice N2 a chance.
