America isn’t just the boundaries of a Nation though its borders present that as but one definition of what it or ANY Country may be. But as many who have dreamed of its embrace may attest, more importantly, ‘AMERICA’ is an IDEAL, as well as a STATE OF MIND.
For myself & many such dreamers as I, sometimes ‘America’ cannot be fully realized & attained at home but its vision must be elsewhere transported so as to allow that vision to be lived out in those places & spaces whereby ‘America’ can be brought to fruition the manner in which it may have been denied within the confines of its own physical geography.
For despite the countless & continued struggles of many to accomodate the Reality of a nation with the Promise it confers upon those who dare to wrestle with its often complicated dimensions, it nevertheless remains as inspired an ideal to pursue as any that has heretofore flown a flag framed beneath a big blue sky & blown by a bold & majestic billowing wind.
So here’s to every strand of each tribe & community that has strengthened the fabric of America by enduring the trials & tribulations inherent in establishing one’s place amongst & between the Stars & Stripes, & who have even worn those Stripes upon their backs, & seen those Stars within their eyes, maybe while dazed & confused, but DETERMINED to rise from the trenches of the ‘Come What May’ to firmly entrench their claim on the land of the Blood Stained Banner, on Milk & Honey’s salubrious & celebrated soil.
Freedom is never a Bridge too Far, nor Dignity an Hour too Late.
To AMERICA, HAPPY 4th of JULY !
