Thank you for the encouraging comments. There are more of us than are usually apparent.

I know the growing urgency of which you speak. Sometimes it feels like the door leading to our dreams is right in front of us, and is even a bit ajar, and here we sit, the totality of humanity, with hammer cocked on a filed down trigger, and barrel pressed to our skull, about to sneeze.

I'd rather fling the door wide, grasp the dreams and forge them into reality. I know it can be done with just a change of focus. Right now I'm trying to use Steemit to better find that focus. It doesn't seem to be an end, but it is a decent means.
