Open Road
Looking forward to what comes next with hope and bravery.
SSA choir and piano
Open Road celebrates renewal, freedom, and the quiet beauty of ordinary places transformed by spring. It’s a perfect choice for graduation ceremonies, and it embraces the idea that we can’t live in fear of the future. We must be open-minded and willing to walk the path towards whatever the future holds.

Promise
This day is an open road
stretching out before you.
Roll down the windows.
Step into your life, as if it were a fast car.
Even in industrial parks,
trees are covered with white blossoms,
festive as brides, and the air is soft
as a well-washed shirt on your arms.
The grass has turned implausibly green.
Tomorrow, the world will begin again,
another fresh start. The blue sky stretches,
shakes out its tent of light. Even dandelions glitter
in the lawn, a handful of golden change.
~ Barbara Crooker (from How to Love the World)
