I'll just sing this one last tune,
and then, we'll shift gears and get into the Q & A.
And just to give a heads up about how that's going to work,
we've got some questions that we asked Joshua and Aulton already
ahead of time, and they've prepared some answers for us.
And then, we can also, if we have time,
take a couple questions from the audience that they can
answer on the fly for you all.
But this song is called "Perfect Imperfection" by Caden Rainey.
And I'll just mention one time that my organization that I
co-founded with poet Chris Martin
is called Unrestricted Interest.
And we do creative writing, mentorship
of all kinds for neurodivergent writers,
focusing in particular on working with spellers,
but working with autistic writers, and writers
of all kinds of neurological difference.
And if folks are interested in learning more about that,
we're at unrestrictedinterest.com.
And also, this album, Silently Loud,
will be available within the next week or so
on iTunes, and Spotify, and YouTube,
and all the regular outlets.
So definitely keep an eye out for that as well.
And this is called "Perfect Imperfection."
(SINGING)Like a star that falls from the sky,
you may sometimes change direction.
The world is full of perfect imperfection.
And nobody is perfect.
At least, that's what people say.
But I think we're all perfect in our own special way.
And like a rainbow after the storm,
sometimes, you just need a new perspective.
We can be transformed by perfect imperfection.
And nobody's perfect, at least that's what people say.
But I think we're all perfect in our own special way.
And like a man without a voice, somehow, I made a connection.
Now, I know I'm blessed by my perfect imperfection.
And nobody is perfect, at least that's what people say.
But I think we are perfect in our own special way,
in our own special way.
Amen.
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
Thanks so much.
