Wall Doors America
Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. the nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. and between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.

The reality, sitting ten thousand miles away, is that we remain the country that inspires. we remain that shining city on a hill.
Country Reality Cities
I have just been to a city in the west, a city full of poets, a city they have made safe for poets. the whole city is so lovely that you do not have to write it up to make it poetry; it is ready-made for you. but, i don't know - the poetry written in that city might not seem like poetry if read outside of the city. it would be like the jokes made when you were drunk; you have to get drunk again to appreciate them.
Teaching Writing Cities
I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but i don't know if i ever quite communicated what i saw when i said it. but in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, god-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get there. that's how i saw it, and see it still.

Do you know what causes low voter turnout in america? it's the result of having the fate of our nation at stake. this began with the bitter presidential election of 1828, which pitted the education, cultivation, and puritan constraint of john quincy adams against the yahoo populism of andrew jackson, thereby deciding permanently whether america would become a shining city upon a hill or an overlighted strip mall along a highway.

It is easy to face death and fate, and the things that sound so dreadful. it is on my muddles that i look back with horror--on thethings that i might have avoided.
Fate Sound Looks
The rich...should beg the poor to forgive us for the bread we bring them. healthy people sometimes feel they need to beg forgiveness too, although there is no reason why. maybe we simply ask forgiveness for not being born where these poor women have been born, knowing that if we lived here too, our fate might well have been the same.

You can't fight your fate...it is predestined.
Fighting Fate Predestined
Are some people destined for a great fate, or to do great things? or is it only that they're born somehow with that great passion - and if they find themselves in the right circumstances, then things happen? it's the sort of thing you wonder.
