This title is a play on words by Collins‰Û_ the word orbit connotes both a racetrack, and the circle we chose to surround ourselves within‰Û_ It is the orbit we chose that can catapult us to our greatest achievements, or hold us back‰Û_‰Û_ yet if we persevere, and constantly adjust.. rising against defeat to find the ideal orbit‰Û_ we will blast through all of those who doubted us‰Û_ to the heights that we are made for. The work features among countless layers, a crown, which Collins uses to remind us that we are all kings and queens, far more powerful than we give ourselves credit for‰Û_ and far more capable than our wildest desires. This work is part of Collins ‰ÛÏSkin Horse‰Û grouping of works, which are inspired by the Childrens‰Ûª Book ‰ÛÏThe Velveteen Rabbit‰Û written in the 1922 by Margery Williams.
