As we go into the finales...
We Are Maraqua AC 6 Finals Song is....FAITH OF THE HEART (by Russell Watson)
A powerful song, its a tribute to All Maraquans old and new, and a reaffirmation that the future, our future, belongs to those who believe in the power of their dreams.
This one goes out to all MQers - THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!
It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No they're not gonna hold me down
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, I've got faith, faith of the heart
Every January, Franc has a habit of going to Montreal (which is usually minus a big number and snowy at that point) for a conference. While there, he tends to break bread with, as fate would have it, Queen V, who happens to reside there. So, there, on January 26th in the afternoon, over lunch somewhere along Boulevard René Lévesque, V and I made a toast. To what you ask? Nothing less than finally coming home with a Championship this year.
For folks, like Veronique and I, who have been around since well before the fateful moment in the first Altador Cup where we proudly clicked the Team Maraqua crest, this finals berth means, for us, that we are nearing the end of a truly long road.
What's on this road? Many things really. Good intentions to be sure, playing hard to represent the team we chose and the teammates who played along side us. Disappointment, when we lost in days in AC 1, and the hard lessons of AC 2 and AC 3 where we learned the value of unity, a plan and always sticking together, no matter what happened (either results or conflict). Thrilling victories, when we held against powerhouses in the early days, and latter day success against strong opponents.
Two things are clear though, looking back on the road, and both make me very proud.
The first, is that Maraqua has remained true it itself - a tough, humble group, who understand we're not a powerhouse with masses of people, but our successes are determined by all of us exceeding our own expectations of what we THINK are our own personal limits.
As for the second, well, people have said, and will say, multiple things about this team. We are arrogant, we are rude, we are all sorts of things - let them say it. In cases where it is true, then an apology should be offered, as is only right. However, an important distinction needs be made. The reason Maraqua is where we are today, is because, quite simply, we've always believed on our own potential to be champions - to be and do the very best. And so, with plenty of hard work over the years, and a few natural squabbles, we've worked within our team reality to bring out that championship potential.
In my mind, this team has never been better. It has never been more knowledgeable, more dedicated or more prepared for what lies ahead. With our legendary determination and work ethic, I know, four days from now, we WILL hoist that trophy - how do I know? I've got faith of the heart.
Lets go give VIRTUPETS a taste of good, honest Maracite!
