Confidence Is A Static State. Determination Is Active. Determination Allows For Doubt And For Humility - Both Of Which Are Critical In The World Today.

Part Of The Identity Of A Place Is The Tension Between Those In The Margins, And Those In The Center, And They All Live Behind The Walls Which Wear The Tradition.
