For a person who has been wrongfully incarcerated for over 30 years, "Build On Yearnings" takes on a profound and deeply personal significance. Each word in the phrase embodies a crucial aspect of resilience and strength that can sustain someone enduring such an extended injustice.
- **Build**: This represents the foundation of inner strength. For someone in this situation, it’s about constructing a mental and emotional framework that can withstand the years of wrongful imprisonment. It's about gradually creating a sense of hope, self-worth, and determination despite the surrounding circumstances.
- **On**: This suggests focus and direction. It implies moving forward, continuously progressing, and keeping sight on eventual freedom and justice. It serves as a reminder to remain steadfast and not lose sight of the ultimate goal of exoneration and reclaiming one's life.
- **Yearnings**: The deep, often intense desires that exist, even in the darkest times—such as the longing for freedom, justice, and the ability to reunite with loved ones. Yearnings also encompass the dreams and aspirations that persist despite the years lost, fueling the motivation to keep fighting for one's rightful place in the world.
