1.1: Winding Down

When the Campaign Trail began to Wind Down in October 2008, a Spectacular Moment was captured at the Westin Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. The Presidential Election was a Tight Race and only Time would Tell who Came out of the Process the Victor.

John Carmichael was Closing the Evening with another Rally Speech before his Campaign volunteers. At the End of this Rally Speech though, John felt a Rush come Over him & Around him... and he just Went with It and Said,

"... I have Something to Say that I want all of you to Reflect On and Keep Close to your Heart at all Times.

When a Child is born it doesn't necessarily perceive the distance between time very well. Pretty much time for the Child is dictated by frequent Hunger Pains. But when the Doors of Perception are Open, the Child will awake with the Sun for the Entire length of His or Her Lifespan... which can be Short if you don't live at the Right place at the Right Time on this Planet.

The Sun comes up with every Dawn... 365 days a Year. We don't know exactly how long our Sun has been doing this, but we feel pretty confident that it will be around for a few more Centuries at least.

Mankind is Forced to Witness the Dawn for as long as he or she Breathes, but there is a Choice or a State of Being that determines whether Mankind Greets or... Waits for the Sun. There is a Huge difference between the One who anxiously Greets the Dawn to the Tortured One that merely Waits for the Dawn in Dread, or in Apathy, or worse... Fear.

Somewhere in the Middle there is Hope-- Hope to be Fulfilled when that Perfect Dawn Rises.

In the End of our Lives... We come to Realize & Evaluate Ourselves and Wonder if we ever Truly Witness a Perfect Dawn in our Lives, and Grade our Existence accordingly before we Shuffle off this Planet & Return to the Soil. If we can't Recall seeing a Perfect Dawn, did anybody else See One? Most likely a Good Many Few did... at Your Expense."

The Room remained silent for a few minutes as the Crowd digested what had just been served to them. John paused a few seconds to capture the Moment at the Podium & slowly canvassed the Faces of the audience before exiting the Stage and Returning to his Suite. It Felt good-- it was a solid piece of Inspiration and he was glad that he let the Speech Flow as it did.

Yesterday's gone and Today will Catch up with Yesterday... and Tomorrow has yet to be Seen.
