Southbound.......Hope all is well on your part.....

For ever I dream
Dreams of young man with blessed heart.
For ever I dream
Dreams of beloved son, brother, friend, lover, citizen.
For ever I dream
Dreams of wonderer searching life's many angles through others.
For ever I dream
Dreams of MLK, JFK, Rousseau and others who have dreamed before.
For ever I dream
To an un-ending dreams.

We are in Mississippi, where one of out six lives in poverty. Sometimes in life, you must be prepared to always keep in your mind and heart that everything happens for a reason. I left not only knowing that what we are doing is chance of a life time, but that those we will meet may one day change our own lives for better. The lessons are endless, their faces are many, their lives are similar to ours, for they still live in first world nation. Ignored by the states, left in poverty, and drug addicted households, their lives are what we will be trusted and judged one day. For that, it was tough leaving, but the more we go to new town the more we just want to stay once we’re there.

ZZZZzzzzzzz Yeah.

I'm glad you're posting.

I lived in Arkansas for 8 years. We used to say "thank God for Mississippi".

Not that my state has a lot of room to talk. We have pockets of poverty and despair here as well. Large pockets.
