The Infinite Ones: Songs of Celebrating Life

By Alyssa Mohammed

Have you ever had a weird thought? Something that you didnt share with anyone because you thought it would sound stupid out loud. Like maybe you imagined trees could hold our lives together, that in some way nature is sacred. Or maybe you didnt say it because it would hurt someone. Like maybe, secretly, you see an uncanny parallel between someone you know and the way tornadoes destroy everything they touch, or you cant get over how afraid you are of someone who doesnt mean to hurt, but does. But most of all, you probably never said it because you were afraid that the magic of it would be broken if you did, like that in a moment, youre king, youre infinite .Thats what The Infinite Ones is about. We are all beautiful and scared and confused and wild and forever. We are forever. Yes. We should say it more often. Its time we took forever back.
