For those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will fly on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Freedom to Joy,

to Joy to Freedom,

to peace to love,

from love to peace,

the circle rotated endlessly.

Then,

we messed up.

I like how simple this is, yet it tells the whole story of humanity's problem.
