Change in the air and in our time

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned

citizens can change the world.

Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."

— Margaret Mead

I believe with all my heart and spirit in this quote. Apparently the Occupy Wall Street movement does as well.  Apparently those in Egypt, Libya did also.

The Tank Man in June of 1989 believed in this thought.

The video shares the images and some thoughts:

The change that this world is looking for now is very real.

Our founding fathers of the Republic did not invision what we have now.  They served in the government they did not seek this position as a career.

We need to rework our country.  We need to stand up and explain to our leaders what we truly want.  What we need from them.

The only way we do this is to get involved.

Not to be led around in a maze and conformed but to be an active participant in the way our voice is heard.

Does this take effort and work?

Yes

Does this take standing up for what your believe in?

Of course

"Every generation needs a new revolution."

~ Thomas Jefferson

"The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to

the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with

difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion.

As our case is new, so we must think

anew, and act anew.

We must disenthrall ourselves,

and then we shall save our country."

~ Abraham Lincoln

in a Message to Congress

We must Rise.....

 

 

The voice of change is in the air.

We must rise.

We must speak out and stand.  Nothing will come easy mind you but change never is.  Change never is.

I took some time last night and watched some video that can be found on Livestream.com.  The video was some interaction with those in the Occupy Pittsburgh demonstration going on day 5 as of today.  The movement at this point is people of all ages, all different race, all different coming together and having a conversation.

A conversation and a togetherness for change.  That to me is the start of change the coming together and forming a more perfect....no a more improved way to implement change.

Change for our children, and their children.

The next step is to start some type of reform, a reorganization of ideas and placing them within our own individual lives.  Change that will make a difference for those who seek it.

We must rise........

Become the voice of change. If not the voice at the very least listen to the conversation that these groups are trying to have.

Are some of the conversations beyond real possibility?

Maybe but back in the day we didn't think we could ever fly in a plane.

We never thought we could watch images on a box in our living room that we would plug in.

We could not imagine getting rid of our vinyl for our music and replace it with an MP3 player or an Ipod.

The world changed, over time it always does.

But never will the power of a simple, sincere smile...... unless we stop using it.

Never....at least not from me to you.

Smiles sent your way today and everyday : )
