What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

We are never without a pilot. when we know not how to steer, and dare not hoist a sail, we can drift. the current knows the way, though we do not. the ship of heaven guides itself, and will not accept a wooden rudder.
Heaven Pilots Way
To be in hell is to drift; to be in heaven is to steer.

In fact, i take the view that god, in his infinite wisdom, didn't bother to spring for two joints - heaven and hell. they're the same place, but heaven is when you get everything you want and you meet mummy and daddy and your best friends and you all have a hug and a kiss and play your harps. hell is the same place - no fire and brimstone - but they just all pass by and don't see you. there's nothing, no recognition. you're waving, “it's me, your father,” but you're invisible. you're on a cloud, you've got your harp, but you can't play with nobody because they don't see you. that's hell.
Father Spring Kissing
Hell is in the here and now. so is heaven. quit worrying about hell or dreaming about heaven, as they are both present inside us this very moment. every time we fall in love, we ascend to heaven. every time we hate, envy, or fight someone, we tumble straight into the fires of hell.

So the america i came to know growing up was filled with all the excitement and possibilities found in living the american dream.
Dream Growing Up America
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. you may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

Writing was not a childhood dream of mine. i do not recall longing to write as a student. i wasn't sure how to start.
Dream Writing Childhood
When you're working and you're busy and you're successful, no matter what, something suffers, whether it's your relationship with your mother, your relationship with your whole family. certain things suffer and take the back burner, not because they're on the back burner in your heart but because the world just moves so quickly. a lot of people, when they're chasing their dreams, they have to leave people they love.
