Dynamite Youth Center
 
THE DYNAMITE PHILOSOPHY 
 
The Dynamite Philosophy is that every man makes his own destiny, and that he can shape his destiny by having convictions, positive values, and self-respect.
 
I, as an individual, must be prepared to meet my own weaknesses and overcome them.  In order to overcome them, I must be aware.  In order to be aware, I must communicate.  In order to communicate, I must trust.
 
To achieve these goals, I must be honest with myself.  In being honest with myself, I gain maturity and responsibility.  By obtaining this, I find myself reborn to a constant betterment of my life.

Dynamite didn't get me off drugs.
They gave the the tools and the environment
to cope with the reasons I turned to drugs
in the first place.
 
15 years later, these coping methods continue
to be invaluable in every facet of my life.

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own
 
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
The heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own
                                        Lyrics by Robert Hunter/Jerry Garcia
 
Thank you DYC for being there when we needed you,

STRANGERS
Life is a hard won way and love is too tender to know
When tired, fatigued and feelingless with the harder elements of
survival, we do not understand the importance of loving
Because tenderness was lost on the way and we turned from love
and lost what we should have taken care of
 
Sad eyes looked into sadder eyes, as we met in a troubled stare
Tired, defeated or both
I wanted to heal my sadness with a sadder one than I
Since the time before was passed and I knew you a long time ago
With no hope of you remembering me,
stranger looks at stranger
