Moving forward is the only way through.

“If you can't fly, then run.
If you can't run, then walk.
If you can't walk, then crawl.
But, whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
A magical sky. The sun shines through the clouds, making them appear iridescent. Hope may seem barricaded, but hope can break through.
