RVDK'S ARMY OF LOVE

ARMY OF LOVE REBELS FOR A POSITIVE CHANGE For weeks now we are confined in our homes We are told to wear masks when we go outside An outside threat An eerie new reality The only thing we can do is surrender​ A WHITE FLAG; SURRENDER We put globalization on hold Bringing back a deep appreciation for our local heroes, front line workers, neighbors A chance for societal change The world on halt We see that the skies are clearer, nature blooms and even wild animals come out NEGOTIATE The constraints of these times fuel our imagination, forcing us to reimagine the future Making us all aware of our destructive relationship with the planet A time to reconsider our industry and how it is participating to a world that is facing a tremendous crisis A BLANK SHEET It’s up to us how we move forward, how we preserve this state of mindfulness and appreciativeness of the things we need to miss out now It’s up to all of us to what extent we are willing to listen to all the signals we are given Moving away from quantity back to quality Appreciating local craftsmanship, substance and soul This is our chance to reset MASKS It’s up to us to reveal ourselves To stop hiding behind filters Stop hiding an inconvenient truth Who are we as humans and as companies and what do we stand for? Let’s make the world beautiful and healthy Let’s make history and start a true sustainable era!
