In order to reach a goal.. you have to set a goal

and when you set a goal.. you are already half way to where you need to be.

and in the march to get to the final half of that goal.. we all have to negotiate the path.. twists and turns

Politically.. we have unfortunately become a people of our extremes.. trying to find the smallest group we can fit in..who will agree with our every thought.. and we do not have to look at the other persons point of view...

We do not have to negotiate one iota of our precious individual ideals..

We do not have to acknowledge the other for a second..because if we do.. we are compromised..

It is hard to be the one who pushes out to the middle, trying to find common ground, because not only do you get hit by the oncoming from the extremes of the other side.. but by the people behind you..

But it is worth it.. there will always be those who can never move out of their corners..on all sides..

Nothing we can do about that.. but we do not have to be a prisoner of it either..

Be bold.. be brave.. and reach out.. and move together where you can
