There is only one thing appeals to the imagination more than love of art, and that is the art of love.

The end of wisdom is to dream high enough not to lose the dream in the seeking of it.

Faulkner

Page 2: World of dreams and imagination

Dreams are what wishes really areA better life, true love or travels far.During the daytime, we allow ourselves to seeAll of the possibilities of what things could be

Searching and not finding the meaning of lifeWe succumb to the pressures, problems and strife.Thoughts begin to wander as we try to copeThe night’s expectation affords us new hope.

Off to a place that only we knowUntil reality stops in and makes us let go.Back to the present and immediate deedsGone are the dreams of our emotional needs.

But dreams come again during our sleep.Adventures and fantasies we cannot keep.Vivid images barely do touchThe panacea of memories we love so much.

In dreamland our bodies are at peace.Problems and stresses consciously cease.We can dream about anything, everything is rightSlumber will take us through the passage of night.

In our dreams alone, do we imagine a placeWhere contentment fills the whole human raceSelfishly guarding the things that we most careDreaming of tomorrow, today, if we dare.

At the signalled start of a new dayDreams, like a mist will fade away.For only in our minds, so it seemsWe are truly free to dream little dreams

When I first noticed you, you were sitting therewith the air of a movie producer watching―studying the scene and critiquing the actors whowere performing with an almost hypnotic stare.

I thought to myself, I could create a scene withthe two of us entwined together just dancing.Our bodies meld together in a slow tango andheat and tension building as if we were romancing.

I wondered as I watched you if you felt a tinglingkind of static electricity―or burning sensation.Sweeping me off my feet so effortlessly that it waslifting me up high and away without an invitation.

Even now, as I cannot tear my eyes away from youI feel drawn to you like a moth toward the flame.I do not even know your name, but I cannot helpbut wonder if you could possibly feel the same.

You appear to be just another “cool customer”Secure in a world that is the product of your creation.I wonder where you have been all my life when I waslooking for you, I am quite sure there is no relation.

The little fantasy that I envisioned for a rendezvousthat would probably never actually have a chance.Love does not come easy for a person who has neverknown the feeling of another in an intimate romance.

The mind and body play tricks that can almost real.If not for the profuse sweating that has me in a spell,I would gather the nerve to approach you and find out if you might show some interest―Or at least I could tell.

That is the beauty of a daydream―No one will ever know.The reason for the smile upon my face and I would die.If you were to come up to me and ask me to dance withyou, but daydreams are merely a cleverly disguised lie.

Rarely, does it occur that one receives an appointment andsubsequently has to resign the post to due to some irregularity.However, facts can come out after the confirmation processhas concluded favorably and they have to leave voluntarily.

The wrong person in the wrong position is something thePresident very much wants to avoid, (ala “Brownie” at FEMA)A man many believed was not qualified for the position as headof the Federal Emergency Management Agency after Katrina.

The nomination of Harriette Myers for the Supreme Court wasanother ill-advised nomination that managed to go nowhere.The President might have liked her a lot, but critics spoke up tostate emphatically she did not possess the qualifications to be there.

All political appointees realize that their appointment only lastsuntil there is a change in the Administration or a reorganization.For those who successfully maintain their office for the full eightyears they deserve a new job challenge and well-earned vacation.h

Those who have the responsibility of running a Federal Agencydo so, as was stated at the pleasure of the Commander-In-Chief.He alone has the discretion to make appointments of those whohe believes are the right fit for the position which comes as a relief.

The Cabinet picks that President Obama has made are without adoubt a brain trust of talented people well-qualified and skilled.The future for the average citizen is promising if they can liveup to the high standards that are set as more positions are filled.

It is not a cupboard, or a pantry, or a root cellar,or anything having to do with storage of any sort.The one-on-one interviews and verbal exchangesat times may seem more like a spectators sport.

The men and women who are on the “hot seat,”are there because they are the President's choice.To be a Senior Executive at the Federal agency whereits mission is to advance the Administration's voice.

Being hand-picked by the President is an honor andprivilege, each one would say so if they were asked.The process of being confirmed by the House andSenate can be grueling and takes a while to find out.

Congress is a body that has the right to use its partisanpowers to stall or completely block a potential nominee.Senators are more interested in the more critical agencyfunctions like, CIA, State, Defense, and Homeland Security.

Not to say that other agencies do not get the same levelof scrutiny in the confirmation process as others do.All the other agencies will get new Administrators, butsom have ”Acting” in place so long it hardly seems new.

Unfortunately, some nominees have issues that derail theirnomination or otherwise cause themselves embarrassment.So, they must withdraw their name from consideration citingpersonal” reasons so the President can find a replacement.

Whenever a child is sleeping, haveyou ever wondered what they dream?A child's imagination can think themost unbelievable things as they deem.

You cannot know the things that a childmay aspire to achieve or one day become.All children at a point dream big dreams.Not all are encouraged to achieve as some.

How cruel it would be if a parent were tothwart them before they have the chance.To reach their potential and live their dreamwith all its possibilities, passion or romance.

A wise parent is the one who is protectiveof their young mind and to assist them to grow.If you have had the good fortune to live yourdream, then you have experience and must know.

When a child's sleep is fitful or restless, it couldbe a sign that the child, not knowing is troubled.The chance that they will have a life full ofdifficulty and controversy is more than doubled.

Take a glimpse at your sleeping child and watch her for a while―you can easily imagine or see.That child's future is reflected in the look ofcontentment on her face and your responsibility.

The song “Zoom” by the Commodores says,“I may be just a foolish dreamer, but I don't care.'Cause I know my happiness us waiting out there omewhere—Perhaps to dream a dream if you dare

I am searching for that silver lining, andnew horizons that I know I will never see.I'd like to take just a moment to dream mydream, dream my dream.(of what can be).

Mr. Richie is in good company, because Ihave my own dream and admit the same.I don't follow the beat of anyone elses' drumwhile navigating the uncertainty of life's game.

They day that life is like a fine gemstone thatyou are fortunate enough to one day unearth.Although it may be like a rough uncut diamond,once it is polished, it reveals its actual worth.

The late John Lennon also sang about having awish in “Imagine” he wished the world could beas one—he said, “ I may just a dreamer, but I'mnot the only one.” Imagine if that could be done.

To dream a dream is to wish upon a star—only thedream won't take you very far, so make it come true.The road you travel can lead to wide open spaces ora dead end—whatever the future may be is up to you.

You merely have to open your eyes and imagine yourdream coming true and wish upon that shooting star,Wherever you happen to be look for opportunities thatwill propel you forward no matter how long or how far.

Recall the words to the Walt Disney theme song that says,“When you wish upon a star, it does not matter who you are.Everything your heart desires will come to you” if you canimagine it, then it can be as real as a nighttime shooting star.

It has been a very contentious summer.The effort to put the breaks on our debt.The President, Democrats, Tea Party andRepublicans argued and if I had to bet....

Most say that no one was the victor in thediscussions and more debate has been set.With the requirement to form a committee tomake more cuts, it's as uncertain as it can get.

Unemployment is triple the national average,especially if you happen to be a returned vet.These men and women served their countryin Iraq and Afghanistan and without any regret.

As politics as usual has increased the chance theopposing sides will enter into a lengthy tet-a-tet.The frustration of the American people has risen toits highest level of dissatisfaction in numbers yet.

The American people feel that they are helpless, ashelpless as a bunch of fish caught in a fishing net.They have the right to complain as the are treatedno better than the average family's household pet.

The President as our leader has tried to bring theparties together and is like no one I've ever met.But, the Presidency is a job after-all and he has foundout the hard way, he can do only what Congress will let.

Some may want to go to another country and escapethe madness to a far far away place on the fastest jet.The debate with all its drama has shifted the focus fromgrowing the economy, proving that Congress is all wet!

To anyone who was following the debate and is as fedup with the process as America came apart at the seam,you might well ask yourself a question as you view theaccompanying picture, this―”What about his dream?”

Page 8: World of dreams and imagination

You must look inside a fantasy to make a dreamcome true—in other words take a dare if you must..The mind's eye behold what is not visible to thenaked eye things that do not exist, but it you can trust.

It scrutinizes the big picture with a laser focus thatsees everything there is to see in the in finest detail.Especially the things that tend to be overlookedwhen chaos reigns and you plans will not prevail.

Dreams should not be treated like fantasies , whichare fanciful and at times seem beyond our reality.Dreams co-exist with our conscience world, if onlyto help us to imagine the possibilities and the maybes

The landscape of a dream may be unfamiliar, but thatonly makes the journey more mysterious as you go along.Like a fantasy land, its purpose is to challenge not entertainand if you remember its just a dream nothing can go wrong.

Here are no shadows in dreams, so you must keep alert tochanges in scenery because things are not what they seem.Things might suddenly appear and disappear for noapparent reason, but you must expect this inside a dream.

To dream is to dare, and if you want to see your dream cometrue, you must accept the dare courageous as never before.When you accept the terms and conditions of the dare, youneed to put aside fear in order to be receptive to what's in store.

A dream can take you to the highest heights or to the deepestplaces, like a hypothetical journey to the center of the earth.Dreams You will not have a compass to guide you, as you aredrawn along passageways as your conscience shows its worth.

No one will ever dare you to follow your dream—Aare is a challenge that only you can either accept or reject.It is your pursuit and if you confidently walk in its direction,you will come to know as others how life our dreams can affect..

Sometimes the subtext of our dreams exposes weaknesses orprivate fears that we keep well hidden from any prying eyes.You might not recognize familiar faces or faces that you oughtto know, but they are not because they are wearing a disguise.

Fear not—a dream can never harm you; Remember it's only adream after all and dreams occur whenever you are fast asleep.The kind of dream you have a choice in its content are the onesyou daydream about and occupy your thoughts and want to keep.

They had spent many years with the people of Sudanand were able to document the atrocities first hand.What they report on were the kinds of things the rest ofthe world does not tolerate and couldn't let this stand.

The voting was held without incident, despite the threatof civil war, and when the votes were counted they won,and a new nation, the Southern Sudan was born out ofthe pain and adversity; they had not quit until it was done.

The outcome of the voting by the people and those whomonitored the situation had cause for great celebration.Without a civil war, the people had prevailed and a newnation was born with its own flag and autonomy as a nation.

Individuals like George Clooney and others deserve theirown recognition and some kind of humanitarian award.If it were not for their keeping the world's focus on thisunstable region, the people could not live as one accord.

This poem is about the ugly history and thelong, ongoing struggles of the people of Sudan.Ultimately it is about the will to affect change,and their determined to self-govern if they can.

For years there was much violence, raping ofwomen and forcing the people to be refugees.The country was in turmoil and the warlords whocontrolled the south destroyed what they could seize.

But, as in every great story there were heroes whogot involved and brought attention to their plight.The people who wanted to vote on their future hadthe support of Hollywood and others ready to fight.

The actor/activist George Clooney, his father, thePresident and his advisors were involved completely.Their combined efforts along with members ofCongress ensured the process came about very neatly.

Wouldn't it be nice if—All news was good news,the kind that we want to hear.

And because bad things likedisasters doesn't happenPeople have no reason to fear.

Wouldn't it be nice if —The word “Hate”wasconsidered a four-lettered word.

And because its use implies thethe worst kind of behaviorIt would eventually be unheard.

Wouldn't it be nice if—N.I.C.E. was understood to be“Notify In Case of Emergency.”

And if anything ever troubled youIt would be very nice if theperson you was to contact were me.

Wouldn't be nice if–—We could take backand undo all our mistakes.

And the next timewe would make betterchoices to catch a break.

Wouldn't it be nice if—People would renderto each his just due.

And communities wouldthrive and everyone hasa duty to look out for you.

Wouldn't it be nice if—Instead of using moneywe bartered for everything.

And instead of paying taxesthere is voluntary serviceLike trash pickup each spring.

What does winning gold feel like to an Olympian?Seeing their emotions overcome them with pride.Representing ones country is an honor that fewexperience personally, and they say it's quite a ride.

What kind of training is needed to be an Olympian?It depends on the demands of any particular sport.The rest is a regime of practice, practice, practice,and then the mental discipline to continue to report.

Can a disabled person dream to be an Olympian?The Special Olympics answers a resounding “yes.”The only limits that you will ever have are the onesyou set for yourself if you're prone to second guess.

It is the only time that nation against nation, is notfor the purpose of conflict or war, but for excellence.And the stage is the world with a host country givingits visitors the most exciting and lifetime experience.

Dream now while your young if you want to becomean Olympian someday and bring home Olympic gold.If you don't pursue your dream while you are youngand still can be an athlete, time will say you're too old.

What does it really mean to be an Olympian?st the It's head-to-head competion of the world's best,Making it as a part of a team or as a personwith a dream to do it better than all the rest.

What does it take to become an Olympian?You can't get there without a lot of sacrifice?They have only the trainers and coaches topush them, are you willing to pay the price?

Do you have the heart to be an Olympian?You will need heart or you will want to quit,whenever you start to question why you arepushing yourself to the extreme because of it.

Are you physically in shape to be an Olympian?The truth is that you lose a step over the years.If you started training today, it still might not beenough, a truth that if told would be causing tears.

Have you ever looked up to a former Olympian?If he or she inspired you to want to do the same.Whatever motivation you need to keep you onthe goal of making the team is part of the game.

Dr. King was able to draw upon those whopreceded him in the struggle for equal rights.The “dream” he had was not the kind thatoften visits us during many sleepless nights.

Looking over the history of America andits past record on human rights and abuses.Today, it is a different sort of spirit that hasthe average person not accepting any excuses.

“All for one and one for all,” was the rallyingcry for the Three Musketeers when needed.Swords lifted in the air was the sign of theirunity and the reason why they often succeeded.

That is when the meaning of the “Dream” wascrystal clear in my mind, alas a decisive victory.A man with the character and the sense to finda common cause for the unification of family.

Now I know that you don't have to be asleepin order to have a dream that can come true.All you have to do is proceed in that directionand good things will find their way to you.

At any given time, we could have an“aha moment” or an epiphany to see.Puzzling out the opportunities in our livesthat we are allowed to achieve and be.

It wasn't because I am black that peoplehit on the fact that I “sound almost white.”The subliminal message was so clear tome, I knew when the time would be right.

I had no leverage to say to my fellowcountrymen, “You should get over it.”I understood immediately why theirinsecurity had them chaffing at the bit.

That is what Dr. King alluded to when heuttered the famous words “I have a Dream.”This was at a time where places existed for“whites only”―a tear in the fabrics' seam.

It is fairly easy to tolerate someone ofanother race while standing in a crowd.But, it is a stigma to be refused service orread signs that say, “No Negroes Allowed.”

It is a reality that unfortunately has some to reachtheir breaking point and some have committed suicide.One tragedy built upon another in a drama that couldhave a happy ending if someone was on their side.

The home, car, college tuition, and retirement are just

a few areas that have changed drastically for some.It was the kind of circumstance not imagined if you'rewealthy and never waited for all the good the come.

The American dream has always been in the backgroundas the reason people try desperately to become citizens.Now, it doesn't seem to have the appeal for immigrantsor illegals to risk coming and filling their own denizens.

Imagine having to explain to your children why you have toleave the only home you've ever known and not know why.How can you give them comfort and assurance when theyrebel or act out in school and it is the parents who start to cry?

Do you think of yourself as a failure and suffer from low self-esteem, or turn to drugs and/or alcohol as a means to cope.While slipping further into a depressed state with no one toshare your pain and no one who can offer any kind of hope.

It is during such times when you reevaluate what your priorityhas to be in life, because nothing is permanent, or so it seems.Anyone can reach the pinnacle of success and be happy, wealthy,and do everything right in their life and have a shattered dreams.

It's official the country is in a recession andmany are feeling its effect on how they live.It is also affecting the previously wealthymany of whom are unable to financially give.

It was called a Ponzi scheme orchestrated byMr. Madoff, who “robbed Peter to pay Paul.”And by the time that the government steppedin a lot of investors and others had lost it all.

Gone in an instant were life's savings, IRA andmoney market, and 401(k) retirement accounts.The losses in excess of fifty billion dollars werespread amongst investors in staggering amounts.

The rich and famous were not exempt, many ofthem trusted Maddoff and were fooled as well.How long it will be before any see compensationis an issue that's undecided― it's too early to tell.

These new faces of poverty are facing hard timesfinancially―some for the first time in their life.While the working poor have had to juggle theirfinances dependant on dual income in strife.

It is a sober and humbling experience to have toseek out shelter or visit food banks for necessities.It's almost impossible to find another job and savefor housing when you're homeless facing uncertainties.

A woman told her family Doctor about animaginary talk that left her sanity in doubt.The doctor was not a psychiatrist, but knewfrom the context, what she was talking about.

His patient has presented with a problemthat she has had for what seems like yearsShe has trouble getting to sleep at night andShe is mentally exhausted to the point of tears.

The doctor was sympathetic, as he listenedto her tale about her conversation with a manwho was not an actual person, but a figmentof the mind, properly known as Mr. Sandman.

Mr. Sandman has been the subject of song―A request for a lover, in the form of a dream.She had much bigger plans on her stage in thenight, than cutesy, songs of candy and cream.

She had come to regard him as her nemesisand believed she could torture him some.She wanted to tape his beady little eyes openfor all those nights she waited for him to come.

The woman explained how she fantasized abouthow she would ambush him in a sneak attack.And nab Mr. Sandman and and tie him up andleave him wondering if she was ever coming back.

She wove an elaborate tale of how she wouldlay in wait and then effect his assassinationA sleep-deprived woman with murderousintent, was a fact that needed no explanation.

The woman reminded the doctor that she was in good company, hundreds more are not alone.People are wired on Starbucks in order to workthemselves to death and drink enough coffee to

The doctor had a good laugh at her expenseand decided that she was not at all mentally ill.And promptly pulled out his prescription padand wrote a refill for that little yellow pill.

He told his patient that dreams are the body'sway for the mind to filter out day's eventsThe stage that is created is sometimes a metaphorfor the other things in life that the mind invents.

The woman has not completely satisfied, but shedecided that it would not be good to plot or boast.The conspiracy to take out Mr. Sandman, remains.The “little helpers is what she need the most.

Then, the doctor said what all good doctors say whenthey want their patients to feel their very best――He told his very tired, stressed-out, and overloaded patient, to “Go home and get yourself some rest!!”

Not the fabled “All-seeing eyeof the Illuminati,” as it seems.Like the candles used in a vigilsfor lost hopes and dreams.

Now as I see my fate in front ofus, open your arm to welcome,the one who promised change notthe “wishful-thinking” of some.

Is it a dream or a nightmare, Icreated because of what I fear?Maybe I've been in the darknesstoo long I'm blind, but can hear.

A genie in a lamp might notbe able to catch a falling star.Even if he said, “Work with mehere,” it would be “sub par.”

I'm wishing on a star and I'mwishing on my own dreams.I'm wishing that you would tryto find out what it means.

I can see, I can see, I can see.

I, can see through you.A perfect seven on theRichter scale would do.

A dream is just a dream.You can't wish upon a star.Come through the darknessShow me who you are.

I have a thought, a picture inmind, of “Renaissance Art.”Maybe you could analyze itone day in your heart.

So many rivers to cross,Somehow we lost our sight.In the darkness with thingsthat go bump in the night.

The light of a single candlewould do, to illuminate a way.Out of the darkness, with aneasier adjustment to a new day.

Dreams no matter how simple or elaborate they are—Achievement can make a believer out of a skeptic.Driven by a strong desire to see one's dream cometo fruition is enough to make a spoiler apoplectic.

When the odds are stacked against you or you havea disability or disadvantage, success is a testament,To the will of the human spirit to persevere againstall odds and to do so without the same measurement.

What dreams may come depends on your motivationthat is seated within your heart and fabric of our soul.The quest to make them come true may be arduous,depressingly lonely and can take a psychological toll.

However, dreams are important, especially for youngminds that are shaped early not to be lazy in endeavors.Parents and mentors who provide encouragement forthem to meet their goals is like pulling the right levers.

If a good dream disappears too quickly, it might not bepossible to recapture the moment it was lost to do over.Life seldom affords second chances, so it is important to make your breaks― not depending on a four-leaf clover.

What dreams may come for you is a question that onlyyou can answer and what value-added education you get.No one who has achieved great things ever did so withthe attitude of failure, quitting or not having a safety net.

What happens after your dream comes trueand you can now claim your victory prize?The quest for fulfillment has taken you farand wide—at a cost more than you realize.

Dr. King proclaimed to the world that, he“had been to the mountain top” in his dream.Like so many before him, it alluded him asif carried away by the vagaries of life's stream.

On an epic journey with unsurmountableobstacles, the goal is life-changing in many ways.It tests your character, as in the dream that Alicefound herself in Wonderland lost for many days.

You don't have to go down a rabbit hole nor todisconnect from some so-called invisible “Matrix.No one has the authority to plan out your steps ordestination, without adding confusion to the mix.

A father takes his son for a walk in the woods sohe can learn what he should and should not fear.He knows that experience is the best teacher andand his goal is to ensure that this lesson is clear.

Most people say hey are inspired by recent eventsand proud beyond words that a new era has begun.For others, it is a grandiose scheme and an illusionthat will be viewed as insignificant in the long run.

When you wish upon a starYou may not know who you are.Twinkling in the night so highLike a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle―Little star.Let your light shine bright.In arrangements that we canobserve in the heavens at night.

Twinkle, twinkle―Little star.Will you disappear from view?Or is your core strong enoughto keep on shining through?

Twinkle, twinkle―Little star.Locked in a stellar constellation.Orion, the Big and Little Dippers,and zodiac signs for conversation.

Twinkle, twinkle―Little star.You have no “Sea of Tranquility.Like your sister moon that shinesabove and moves the tides ability.

Twinkle, twinkle―Little star.The first star that I see tonight.I wish I man, I wish I might getthe chance to be a star that's bright.

Twinkle, twinkle―Little star.Bright enough for us to see?Do you have a plan for howyou want your life to truly be.

Twinkle, twinkle―Little star.I'm wishing on you shooting by.Shine on, shine on, little star inyour light, without a cloud in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle―Little star.As exotic as the Aurora Borealis.The magnetic show of the “NorthernLights” as nature's mysteriousness.

Twinkle, twinkle―Little star.Shine on as the silvery moon.A star is born every momentand not a moment too soon.

Imagine what it might be likeif the secrets of the universe are laid bare.

And new technologies could be discovered.Imagine all the places we would go and theinfinite knowledge that we could all share.

Imagine.You can.

Imagine what it might be liketo be an intergalactic traveler to the universe

and to be able to visit distant planetary vistas.Imagine being an eye-witness to the birth of

new planets and stars and be none the worse.

Imagine.You must.

Imagine what it might be likeif everything that you could imagine is real.

Imagination without limits or without harm―Imagine that you took the time to imagine that.Just opening up to the possibilities is a deal.

Imagine...You imagine with me.

Imagine what it might be likeif people celebrated their differences.

Embracing harmony and cultural diversity.Imagine that might be the kind of place

that would welcome you and me.

Imagine.I can.

Imagine what it might be liketo live without need for locks nor bars.

What if people had no need for protection?Imagine what it would be like for all thechildren growing up without affection.

Imagine.I have.

Imagine what if might be liketo never experience sickness or death.What if instead of obituaries there was

a record of who came back to life?Imagine what things you could do with

your life if there was no last breath.

Imagine.I do.

We must have new designer colors likeelectric blue, tangerine orange, and more;sea foam green, candy apple red, are all indemand as big name designers weigh trendsand predict what we will buying at the store.

Pixels of color arranged by randomly on acomputer screen is form of “cyber art”That this fanciful interplay of ever-changingimages is the latest craze amongst people ofdifferent backgrounds is the interesting part.

Would someone paint upon a ragged canvasspaint-by-numbers and not treat it as fine art?Or could you imagine that a Red Deliciousapple would tell the Golden or Granny Smiththat they cannot be included as a beautifulcenterpiece or a deep dish pie be part?

Consider the example of a Grand pianoNote that its keys ore of ebony and whiteThey exist perfectly placed side by sidein harmony and in tune to produce sweetmusic to the ear that is always a delight.

Life is best viewed in Technicolor forin monochrome its hard to notice varietySeldom is anything either black or whiteand the beauty of the spectrum of coloris not known by those who cannot see.
