How many visionaries are out there in the world? Are you one of them? What does it take to be a visionary? Perhaps thoughts lead you to those indulging in fanciful theories or those inspired by visions. Other words to conjure may be, Idealism, Utopia, Fantasist. How far out of reach does this sound to you? Perhaps it is not as far away as you think. It may be that you are the product of a visionary whisper and your lifestyle the product of century old whispers!
When a farmer looks across a meadow and holds a seed in his hand, what does he visualize? Would we benefit from his vision? Think of an author's vision who sees more than a blank piece of paper as he holds a pen in his hand, or composers who sit in contemplation in front of piano keys.
We may also consider film makers, architects, fashion designers, chefs, musicians, writers, photographers, teachers, missionaries, politicians, inventors, environmentalists, mothers, fathers and those who serve in many capacities. The list can go on for miles because of man's ability to create, build and protect. We are all builders to some degree because the world we live in requires it. It may be that building is the key to surviving.
Stairway To Secrets wants to give you the opportunity to acknowledge you as a bridge builder for others to cross. We salute those who care about themselves, each other, and the state of the world . If you have a vision share it with us, for one vision may lead to many sending more whispers into our children's future.
Brief mention of one man's vision has claimed refuge in the heart of a western nation. His name is Martin Luther King Jr. Some phrases of his historic speech are noted below:
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
“Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom to ring—when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”
The world paid attention to this man because his heart rang true to him. What rings true to you? Realize there is not one greater vision than another, that combined visions create a united world of light. The gravity pull of ideas grows stronger daily as the human spirit discovers its identity and capabilities.
Liken it to a black hole growing in our Milkyway which is unseen to the naked eye. It exists and dominates space creating a rotating cloud of immense energy where light can't escape; however, a black hole is not to be feared if you consider it a recycling pot of creation. Ideas are recycled, and if you let them go another will reclaim them. Consider this a universal exchange!
