"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."

"This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the wall Until the bitter weather passes. Try, as best you can, not to let The wire brush of doubt Scrape from your heart All sense of yourself And your hesitant light. If you remain generous, Time will come good; And you will find your feet Again on fresh pastures of promise, Where the air will be kind And blushed with beginning" Written by John O’Donoghue | To Bless the Space Between Us Narrated, filmed & edited by Adam Nelson 04/17/2020 Music Hysics | Get So Low #coronavirus #corona #covid_19 #covıd19 #JohnOdonoghue #poetry #poet #writing #publishing #street #socialdistancing #alone #alonetogether #nj #newjersey #nyc #newyork #film #movie #cinema #virus #Irish #celtic #clare #avignon #france #spirituality “Oh, my ways are
strange ways and new ways and old ways, And deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, I'm at home and at ease on a track that I know not, And restless and lost on a road that I know.” Written by Henry Lawson | The Wanderer Narrated, filmed & edited by Adam Nelson 04/16/2020 Music Soara | Reflect #coronavirus #corona #covid_19 #covıd19 #HenryLawson #poetry #poet #writing #publishing #street #socialdistancing #alone #alonetogether #nj #newjersey #nyc #newyork #film #movie #cinema #virus #Australia #grenfell #bushpoet “If you are a dreamer, come in,

Armed by inspiration, Ekstrom spent her junior year at North Carolina State University developing her company Headbands of Hope. For every item sold, a headband is given to a child with cancer. Today, Headbands of Hope has donated over half a million headbands to every children's hospital in America and to 22 countries. On 30 March, the company decided to temporarily change its mission. Headbands of Hope now provides double donations to aid both sick and ill children & healthcare professionals, one headband at a time. For every item sold, the company will donate a mask to a healthcare worker and have already donated 50,000 masks to US Acute Care Hospitals. On 3 April, the CDC released an article strongly encouraging the public to use fabric to cover their face when in public to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The brand sells over 40 different styles of Tube Turbans starting at $8.95. View them here  In the past year, the company has launched impact initiatives such as hosting proms at children's hospitals and starting their #BandTogether program where they partner with a childhood cancer charity and donate proceeds from sales to their mission. They've also joined hands with art therapy by having the patients create their own headbands with the flower crown kits they provide. Today, Headbands of Hope is in over 2,000 stores across the United States and Canada. They've been featured on the TODAY Show, Forbes, Seventeen, Vanity Fair, People Magazine, Good Morning America and the headbands have been worn and supported by celebrities such as Khloe Kardashian, Lili Reinhart, Kelsea Ballerini, Lea Michele and more. Jess was named Women's Health Magazine's Ultimate Game Changer in 2017.   We believe headbands are a great way to restore confidence in kids during cancer treatment. That's why at Headbands of Hope, for every item sold, a headband is donated to a child with cancer. We've even started a program where the kids can actually design and create their own headbands. To see a video of it, click here We also want to be a part of the solution: a cure. That's why we take nominations for childhood cancer charities to be a beneficiary for our headBAND Together weeks where we donate 10% of sales to the organization.

“Be careful,
you are not in Wonderland. I’ve heard the strange madness long growing in your soul. But you are fortunate in your ignorance, in your isolation. You who have suffered, find where love hides.
