Through Misty Halls is a reflection upon the beauty of personal connections. It begins with descending mists of doubt and isolation that find us in times of hardship. Though our nature may call us to turn inward, these moments of vulnerability are what give us the empathy to recognize it in one another, and the opportunity to witness the ripple effects of a simple act of kindness that can extend well beyond the moment and ourselves when compassion begets compassion.

Through these misty halls,

There, the clarion calls will find you

Safe in my heart.

So loose these heavy palls

To the fading falls that blind you,

For I will guard you through these misty halls.
