THE PATHWAY TO A NEW AMERICA — OUR DREAMS ARE MADE OF THESE
“People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Some of the noblest of ideas is full of blindness and deafness. In a world with such diversity and so much to offer, an outrageous display of antagonistically bigotry is what capitulates freedom and brings about the disorder. We have paths that lead us to the highest peaks and paths that lead us down the rocky ravine. It is plain to see when a person has chosen the worst of those two paths and until something cataclysmic occurs in their own life, they will never see the individual trees for the forest have blinded them.
“We fail to open the right doors because we fail to pick the right keys!”
― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
We can choose our paths in life. We can choose to be a delight or a fright in the eyes of the beholder. We can choose to bemoan the simplest of consequences or stand strong against the cool winds of the plains of the American Midwest. We can choose to ride the same road with sisters and brothers through friendship or diverge upon a new journey of fantastical dreams, but if we truly want to be what Lady Liberty and our founding fathers believed and stood for, then we must do it wide-eyed and listening to the quiescent jubilation of love all around. Where do you stand, and how do you react to people and their frailties? Are you just and kind, or harsh and discourteous? Would you offer a person a dollar for food, or walk by unscathed by their plight?
“Time will always tell us which path is right and which path is wrong, but on earth, there are some special people who can truthfully tell us which path is right long before the time itself!”

America in 2020 can fight against tomorrow in their journey to the path to a better tomorrow, or they can join the jubilation of opportunity by choosing the right candidates that put people before profit, life before the corporation, and integrity before disfavor? Choose the path that will circumvent class warfare, homelessness, hunger, and joblessness, and choose a person who can be compassionate, resilient, and unifying. What is good for you, will it be good for America? Will it bring America back from the threshold of despair? Will your candidate put people before party, life before profit, honesty before power? If they speak, I, I, I, then they will never speak about you and your needs. The path to that shining city upon a hill, where America is once again respected and admired is not easy and will take a commitment from all, but it can be done by the right candidate and V.P. running mate in 2020. Be secure in that it should never be about identity, but about statesmanship, honor, wisdom, and compassion. Screaming at you is not supporting you, or your loved ones, no matter what words are frothed or what deeds are promised.
“By walking on the right path, you create a golden fate for yourself and you also become a silver lining for the others!”

With the opportunities that I have had to intermix with America, I find that she is such a wonderful soul and has such a servant leadership desire, how could anyone in their right mind not want to be a part of her life? America is a very patient and loving nation. She can bring divided souls to the table and they walk away as old friends. This takes such a great grasp of humankind and God’s ideals; it amazes me she does it so naturally. I have seen America bring goodness into the light, brotherhood from enemies, and understanding from division. These qualities are rare, admirable, and I try to achieve daily, but America can do it with her softness, her caring, and her love of all people.
Without hesitation anyone looking for a caring touch, the opportunity to heal, or just to find solstice in the days of life, that you take a moment to work your way to America. You will feel better, be better, and you will have started a new journey in life that will bring you joy and comfort. It was my greatest accomplishment to be born an American when things were looking bleak for me, and today, I find that to no specific amount of temperance, I can offer up praise to her, but it will never completely show the appreciation that I have for such a wonderful, knowledgeable, honorable and kind nation. In the trials and tribulations of the last few years, one can be hard-pressed to find such qualities, but they do exist in America. From the bravest candidate on a national stage to a retired mother and grandmother trying to make someone’s life a little easier, you can find it all, and Texas can proudly stand tall as that American beacon. From immigrant to ancestral citizenship, people smiling, talking and being caring and polite to all.
Before the lifeblood of America has turned cold, and the hearts of the many have burned out long ago, we need to rekindle the American spirit. We must turn from our inner demons of contempt, bigotry, and greed, and become compassionate, understanding, principled people yearning to bring peace, and amalgamation of all in America. To transcend the greed and self-righteousness of hypocrisy and open our eyes to the beauty of assemblage and hear the whispers of a nation calling out to be captivated and reanimated to it’s greatest heights once again. Hear the whippoorwill singing in the brush of your golden pathway, feel the rays of heat beading from the overhead sky, and make your way to the outskirts of that golden city and believe once again in an exceptional ideal, and bring it to fruition in being concerted and deliberate in your support and vote for 2020.
You are not just for the right or left, but for what is right over the wrong. You are not just rich or poor, but always wealthy in the mind and heart. You are not perfect but flawed. You are flawed, but you are just. You may just be conscious human, but you are also a magnificent reflection of God.”
