Colorado Dreamin'

a dream deferred is a dream denied

___Lorraine Hansbury


Today we are all about dreaming. Specific dreaming. "I have a dream today..."

We are so far from fulfilling that dream.

It is hard not to lose heart, become apathetic, depressed.
I confess to all the above.

Is there something we can do? Always. Always. Big, little, stupendous, simple.

What can you do?

For starters, listen or watch the Tavis Smiley special on Poverty tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday on PBS. It is a sparkling, fire-cracker, stunning conversation between Cornel West, Suze Ormann -- that's right, a Suze Ormann like you've never heard her before! Barbara Ehrenreich, Roger Clay,
Roger Moore and others. Very profound discussion.

What else can you do? It's a beautiful day for dreaming.
