“Some people grow
Partially so.
Instead others go,
Rarefied winds blow.
In all there is still a few,
Those with a different view,
Under pressure remain still.
And yet they sow,
Like the rivers flow,
In the rain, high or low,
The seeds of a soul,
Young starting anew!”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, ACross Tic
