It is the blink that makes one man with eyes blind and another man with vision see. It is the power of the toe on the foot pivoting on its axis and balancing Man's chaotic nature with its spin. It is the breath behind the note that sweetens the melody to the ear with its wings of wind and the pin prick in the brain's butt that lifts the couch potato with the force of a hammer that builds kingdoms, once he's on his feet. It is the Feather of Belief that raises a man's head and dignity from the gutter so he may look up into the face of God and in His eyes see himself redeemed. It is that single drop of Courage that enables one man with It to make leaps of progress, even in the darkness, while another man without It becomes riveted with Fear, even in the daylight. It is one determined fragile finger, with one ounce of Faith, pushing one mighty mountain over one inch to the awe of all disbelievers while the chisel chips the stoneblock for the masterpiece within, transforming the mediocre into the meteoric. It is the power to envision what can be harnessed to the actions that make it real. It is in all of us. It is in all of me. It is in all of you. Namyh |

I liked this a lot. It is that single drop of Courage that enables one man with It to make leaps of progress, even in the darkness, while another man without It becomes riveted with Fear, even in the daylight This was my favorite stanza, but all of them were good. Cheers |
