Break The Mold: Co-Create The World

Adventure and exploration calls. The Creative Rebels do not seek to follow the patterns designed for us. The Creative Rebels do not sit quietly as the life they imagine passes them only in dreams. They lead by faith and challenge the world to accept new and unexpected ideas.

We, Creative Rebels, are the new designers for a world that fits who we are. A short excerpt from the poem by Walt Whitman, Pioneers! O Pioneers! is shared below and in the video clip by Levi Strauss & Co.

PIONEERS! O PIONEERS!

Come my tan-faced children,

Follow well in order, get your weapons ready, Have you your pistols? have you your sharp-edged axes? Pioneers! O pioneers!

For we cannot tarry here, We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!

O you youths, Western youths, So impatient, full of action, full of manly pride and friendship, Plain I see you Western youths, see you tramping with the foremost, Pioneers! O pioneers!

Have the elder races halted? Do they droop and end their lesson, wearied over there beyond the seas? We take up the task eternal, and the burden and the lesson, Pioneers! O pioneers!

All the past we leave behind, We debouch upon a newer mightier world, varied world, Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march, Pioneers! O pioneers!
