Month: January 2010

Stop-look around!

I was sitting in my living room today, contemplating life, when I heard a fly buzzing at the window.  I don’t know how he got there, or why a fly was at my window in the middle of winter, but there he was working as hard as he could to get out.  It reminded me of a story, told at a seminar a few months ago, by a speaker that I do not remember, talking about a book that I do not remember.  He said the fly works so hard to get out.  He is determined and unwavering in his effort. So determined that he may stay right where he is until he dies. He works so hard at his task, hoping that one day it gets him out to where he wants to go…if only, he would stop and look around to see that a door is open on the other side of the room, and all he has to do is to turn and fly out.

What are we missing?

Just a thought…

I Have A Dream – Dr. Martin Luther King – Freedom

“I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.””

– Dr Martin Luther King

And, I say to you today that I still have a dream, a dream in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment!  That we will all rise up, if we so choose, because of great men who have come before us. That we are all equal, and we do have rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  We have the freedom to choose and pursue what life it is that we are going to live.

Now – what are we going to do? How do we choose to live? Who do we choose to be?

Just a thought…

Love, Goldi
