With all of the nonsense that we are bombarded with each day in politics and our lives, we have to sometimes step back and take the long view of life.America is everything we need to do what ever we want - the sky is the limit!
It's not unreasonable to say we are the most power full country on earth, if not all of history - not because of our nuclear weapons, but because of the deep seated notion that America is the land of 'I can do this - -' anything is possible because we have the opportunity to go as far as we want - all it takes is the desire and a dream, the rest is guaranteed by our heritage of freedom - freedom that has been watered by the blood of thousands that have gone before us -
I can't believe we would through this all away to gain a few steps on some ladder of success that will ultimately lead to no where if we lose our freedom.
These two guys, Stix and Stones, symbolize what I am talking about - they look to me for direction and comfort, but at the same time, they love their freedom when released. The world is as big as their legs will take them at full speed. Isn't that what America offers us - an wide open field to run as fast as we want to, in any direction. The only thing holding us back is our will to run.
Enjoy the freedom that we have but never forget how we got here and those that came before us. Remember, nothing is free - freedom is no different.
Stay alert and focused on what's important - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness but also the cost if we decide they aren't important enough to sacrifice some of our short term goals to keep them. Never ever allow freedom to slip away because you are making a life and can't be bothered - don't allow others to decide for you.
I believe this with my whole heart - so keep the faith - the battle is joined! - .
