"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."
- Harriet Tubman
...some powerful words from this morning's talk at church... i'm sitting in my room on a rainy day feeling ultimately alone. i feel forgotten and ignored. i feel frustrated and irritable. i feel a deep sadness within me that seems to course through my vessels with every painful breath and heartbeat.
will i ever have the chance to fully live out who i am?
or will i be forced to hide forever under the shadow of "christians" who are" holier" than i?
i have a dream. sometimes, though, i forget that within this weak, impatient, apathetic soul is strength, patience, and passion.
i've let some dreams reach the emergency stage where breath must be breathed into them.
now. now is my chance. my chance to let the dream live. my chance to realize that one person can walk to freedom and lead others to do the same...
we can be free. we shall overcome.
all of the injustice. all of the hate. all of the division.
let all our sad divisions cease.
deep in my heart. i do believe.
love. will. overcome. someday.
