Welcome to Wednesday everyone, a wish coming from me that your week has been special, joyous and free of any angst.
It's ok to be wishful I think. I mean there is so much the we can control in our lives so we don't really have to wish for what we can control we just have to do something about that.
No, today these wishes are for the things that are around us all and we need to collectively find solutions.
Haiti is such a strong story, highlighted by strong images and heartfelt sounds. Hard to imagine the pain these people are suffering through. I don't argue for a minute for the efforts put into helping this country and I know there is a multi nation effort going on. My prayers are going out to those who suffer for their lost loved ones and for a controlled effort to fix that land.
I wish for a more controlled situation in Haiti.
We are such a strong and resilient nation, America. We have climbed over so much for other lands and nations. We have help to free so many who suffer and done many good things. Have you ever walked down streets in Detroit, past rows of abandoned buildings? How many cities have crack or drug houses filled with pain and suffering for those caught within that bondage?
I wish for more attention to the poor and deplorable neighborhoods in our cities.
Everyone should have their basic needs fulfilled, things like food, shelter should be a right for those who seek it. In a nation with so much to offer those without for not fault of their own show not go unnoticed. If we just shaved 5% from our homeless population is year in each state would that really be enough?
I wish for a focus on the American dream to be not only for the up and coming but focus on the homeless, the hungry here in our streets. Push that camera and lights into the eyes of our needy and lost.
The growth of our youth, no child left behind and other noble laws have placed attention to fixing our education system. But truly with all the technology in our country and the brains to develop a tool like the Kindle, the Ipod, the smart phones why don't we as Americans push that technology into the hands of our teachers who end up using their paychecks and coin to make sure their kids have school supplies.
I wish for all with the knowledge of technology and high minded idea's to band towards helping our children and their teachers grow instead of just passing through the system. I mean why should any child have a book bag dragging them down full of textbooks when we have the resources to digitize our education system.
Just a few wishes today. Things that we collectively can start to ponder, pray for, dream on.
I wish for more of course, world tolerance, acceptance, peace, a world that cares and shares its resources instead of keeping them all to themselves.
I leave you with a legend and a song that expresses many dreamers I hope you enjoy it.
Just imagine the journey we could look back on years from now.
Till next time....Smile and wish and strive for more!
