It is my belief that the majority of people in the world wish for nothing more than a fair shot at personal growth and a modicum of success. No matter what geographical position we inhabit, or lifestyle we pursue, we all accept the presence of a higher power.
It is my prayer that we may find the serenity we seek as we celebrate this season of rebirth and hope.
We are experiencing a new communication and connection with our brothers and sisters across the globe as technology brings us face to face as never before. We have an opportunity now to reach out to one another regardless of race, creed, or color and espouse the reality that while some take a dark path, the great majority of us wish for peace and understanding.
We can take advantage of open communication by extending our hands and uniting as a common people. Not a specific government or philosophy; not a business or religion, but as human beings who, above all, want respect and familial unity.
I have been accused of being a dreamer and not based firmly enough in reality. It is my dream that we can, together, in time, transcend the injustices of a minority and grow as one people.
“Love is an attempt to change a piece of a dream-world into reality.”
Henry David Thoreau (American Essayist, Poet and Philosopher, 1817-1862)
“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”
Helen Keller (American Author and Educator who was blind and deaf. 1880-1968)
