Twilight heights, dawning breeze,
May light, guide the way.
Wavering winds, banded might,
Two more to overcome.
Every storm, every fight,
Has beginning, end and sight.
The captain flies, with the ship,
His, wind not take.
Come to call, rallied hand,
Fly for Highwind's sake.
A bit of background...Jack is a dude who got sent to the future when he attempted (and almost succeeded) from stopping Aku, the bad guy, from taking over the world. He spend his time searching for ways to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku.
In this episode, Jack runs into a Tarzan character, who's monkey tribe has the ability to jump several hundred feet into the air. In exchange for teaching the monkeys how to defend themselves from an aggressive ape tribe, they taught Jack how to jump. Gradually, Jack too gained the ability to leap without bound.
A classic lesson of perseverance, Jack's training paid off when he was able to leap into the path. Sometimes a classical example is just what we need to remind ourselves of where we are. When faced with a big task like NSR or VBS, or CCF Comittee...or even if it is something like walking with a friend, challenging an exam...yes, even learning to jump a hundred yards into the air...
There'll be people around us to push us along. For us to look forward to. For us to guide. There were all at our place at one point. We could do it too.
"Aku!"
"Samuri fool, your efforts are vein again. This gateway to the past is once more beyond your reach...you can fly?!"
"No. Jump good!"
