Twelve Days of Summer Family Vacation 2010

Twelve days of travel
Twelve days of fun
Twelve days of adventure
In the rain and in the sun

Hunting for hidden treasures

 
Seeking the truth we desperately need

 
Listening to voices from beyond the grave
Of how every human can succeed
Studying the laws of nature
And the amazing nature of man

Opening up all my senses
To take us from "I can't" to "I can"

 
This is a life worth living
As exhausting as it can be 

This is a life worth giving
This is the best of me

 All I know is love. It's a very "Forrest Gump"-like love in that it's simple and pure, and all I've become made of.....and believe is inside everyone of us.

I know even more after this trip exploring the sites of MLK, the Parthenon replica in Nashville, Mammoth Cave, Abe Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Native Americans and the Wright Brothers that EVERY child can be reached in EVERY classroom, that child abuse DOESN'T have to exist, and that terrorism CAN BE counteracted with love.

But this love has to be POWERFUL, PURPOSEFUL, POSITIVE, PLAYFUL and PASSIONATE.

It has to be BIG!

It has to become so big inside of us that WE BECOME BIGGER BY IT.

It's a big dream.....One that's going to take as many big dreamers as possible.


You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.
