ASK NOT what your country can do for you...

... ASK WHAT YOU can do for your country...

Sometimes words carry a feeling, a way to see life
and our place in it; a grand mosaic of dots linked by time
to create the face of humanity. In a moment- in each moment-
we have the potential to realize such a state of being;
a well placed gratitude for the life of liberty granted
by accident of birth in America.
It is enough to be thankful, to realize the grace of good fortune.
It is exceptional to act upon this amazing stage
and bring something greater that that which we found
The idea of progress is such, an empty canvas before each eye;
We can inscribe a lasting art that knows our name
or flinch away let waste
the simple wonder of time under the sun.

To contribute to a Nation,
is to connect the tiny life we have
with the limitless possibilities of a faith joined.
It is a faith in a better, more just tomorrow, in

precious wisdom, that tomorrow has already begun ...hdm
