Ode to Curieuse....With common purpose and common spirit, we all
become a team.Our common ground, the desire to be part of
something bigger and grander than our own self.Maybe stronger than we thought we might become,
our passion to make a difference.Each day giving more depth to the last, thingslearned from each other, from the land and fromthe seas.
Black tree, grazed knees, hours, days in the
company of those wed otherwise not meet.Unusual guises, friendly surprise, the spirit of
adventure set.Theres something special that happens here, when
Curieuse people come together.
