Dream On
by Ron Powell
Some dreams may come and go, but the desire and capacity to dream should be permanent aspects of the human condition. We shouldn't cry for the lost dreams of our youth, though in many respects we should be sued for breach of promise, cry if you have lost the willingness and the courage to continue to dream the impossible dreams. It is the abilty to dream that is our primary weapon against the demons we face as individuals and as a nation.
Dreams are the plans and blueprints that provide the basis for the course and structure of our lives. If somebody, somewhere, at some time did not dream it possible and act upon the notion that the dream could become reality, Barack Obama would not be President today. Ideas and inventions are the products of healthy and active imaginations. Our imaginations reside in our dreams for a better life, a better future, and a better world.

people?
I doubt that your father could have foreseen a Barack Obama, much less the forefathers of this nation. The meaning of the words and phrases in the Declaration of Independence and the provisions of the Constitution have been expanded and interpreted to be more inclusive than originally intended. These documents, however limited in scope when first written, have been the inspiration for those who dreamed of a world in which the words "all men...." would at some time come to mean "all people...." We still have a way to go, but I believe, as I suspect you do, that the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency of the United States is a major step in the right direction. Thanks for taking the time to read the post and posting a comment.....
