If the Tennessee Mountain Man was a man, there were dream women. Girls like Liz Taylor, Raquel Welch, Marilyn Monroe, Diana Ross, Nancy Sinatra, Tina Turner and the Vargas girls. Man, we also believed Dale Evans, Annie Oakley, Miss Kitty, Della Street, and the girl next door were hot... probably a hormone point.
But, there were also dreamers. Dreamers like John Kennedy who'd a desire that challenged and inspired a new era. Dreamers like Martin Luther King, Jr. Clicking worth reading perhaps provides aids you might use with your aunt. who had a dream that changed a nation. Bobby Kennedy had a dream. The Gipper had a dream.
Then there have been the desire makers... Desire producers like school teachers who challenged you to become all you might be, professionals like solicitors and doctors who practiced their skills primarily since they cared for their fellow man generally for a pound of butter, several fresh farm eggs, a chicken for the dining room table, or a gallon of fresh churned buttermilk, and there have been men of God who spread the Gospel from love for something apart from numbers, pleasure and money. There were local community leaders who inspi-red and they really got from the road and interacted with their people.
The poet Langston Hughes:
'Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is really a bird
That can not fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren area
Frozen with snow.'
Where will be the D-r Kildare's that dare challenge someone to a noble company larger than themselves rather than seeking self aggrandizement?
Where's America's future? Where are all the dream impressive TV shows and actual road trips like Route 66? Where are true vehicles that people may fall in love with? Where are the street side stands where a child's imagination may be driven for hours without something being stolen or broken?
Where have most of the dreamers gone? Where have the dream makers gone? Why are those who began with nothing but a dream now establishing comfortably within their million dollar homes sipping brandy in the morning and ensconced within their ivory towers by day while dreamers vanish from the landscape? Who do they think will encourage a new era to desire, to dare if they don't? What we have been given, what we've accomplished includes a price which can't be abdicated. The desire, the motivation should be passed to a new era. They need to strive for a brand new frontier.
Oh, community pleasure, community love, community attention, 4-H Clubs, Boy Scouts, FFA, school plays and cake walks where art thou? The Computerman don't see his grandchildren pursuing these things or dreaming about what may be. We have maybe not appeared with a long-shot. Where is the next generation and what will it accomplish? Will it add anything useful to God's earth or be self-absorbed or be couch potatoes playing with the latest device?
Does your pastor encourage the young people, or is he or she just there to count heads and collect dollars? If it's not the former, it is time for a new pastor. Do the teachers in your schools motivate and stimulate students? If not, send them packing. Their really extensive vacation schedule and short hours be damned. Let them accomplish that which is why they're suitable like slinging burgers in the Golden Arches as opposed to holding straight back our prodigy. Do civic and political leaders lead? Or even, change them, and the sooner the better for the next generation of dreamers.
Exactly why is hanging in the engine therefore common today? Why are gangs and gang bangers so prevalent? Why can't our children dream beyond their current circumstances? We did! We desired to be Wyatt Earp (at the very least the TELEVISION picture), Matt Dillon, The Lawman, Perry Mason, Dr Marcus Welby, M.D., Paladin, Pat Garrett or perhaps even the Reverend Billy Graham or the following Reverend Dr Martin Luther King or a Sister Theresa or maybe Elvis or Ricky Nelson and we enjoyed seeing Lassie while wolfing down a big plate of pop corn or home parched peanuts while we believed.
We had to dream before we acted, before we accomplished. Before we had the answers there were
