Sample response
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high... where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way in the dreary desert sand of dead habit — into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. So I sang. A human being should not be shut inside the narrow borders and walls of custom. Release the voice and the beauty within you, and open toward a wider world, as a river makes for the sea.
Voice: Poetic and open; restores the sense of freedom and beauty.
Safety: So as not to make light of real conditions, set down a plan for daily life as well.
