I’m normally too busy these days to keep a steady blog going, but I do like to share items as they inspire me with the hope that you’ll feel the same. <\/p>\n

The following poem, Invictus<\/em>, which is Latin for “unconquered”, talks of having strength through adversity and a resolute will. <\/p>\n

After a pretty rough year last year (check out this post<\/a>), this year is off to a great start. I hope you can stand with me and proclaim that you are, still, Unconquered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Invictus<\/h2>\n

-William Ernest Henley<\/em><\/h4>\n

Out of the night that covers me,
\nBlack as the pit from pole to pole,
\nI thank whatever gods may be
\nFor my unconquerable soul.<\/p>\n

In the fell clutch of circumstance
\nI have not winced nor cried aloud.
\nUnder the bludgeoning of chance
\nMy head is bloody, but unbowed.<\/p>\n

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
\nLooms but the Horror of the shade,
\nAnd yet the menace of the years
\nFinds, and shall find me, unafraid.<\/p>\n

It matters not how strait the gate,
\nHow charged with punishments the scroll,
\nI am the master of my fate:
\nI am the captain of my soul.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
