sliced bread #2

Some look at things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not.

sometimes you have to sit down to stand up

--------------------




many of us get caught up in the daily minutiae of our lives never looking at anything beyond what's pressing and urgent to us... it's easy to forget that there is an opportunity even in our most mundane actions to do something that's greater than ourselves... sometimes it's as "simple" as casting a vote... other times, it means a serious introspection of one's beliefs and acting out of conscience, even if the results are far from pleasant... but each of us has the capacity to do something significant, and none of us should just sit back and "enjoy" the bus ride of life...


"I am leaving this legacy to all of you ... to bring peace, justice, equality, love and a fulfillment of what our lives should be. Without vision, the people will perish, and without courage and inspiration, dreams will die — the dream of freedom and peace."

-- Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
