Imagination and Creation

There is no force greater to create change than that of the human imagination. Without our dreams to fly, we would not fly. Without our need to understand the physical world, we would not have the modern marvels of science that has so helped our lives. Without the dreamer, there are no dreams, there is no change.

I am a dreamer, but I have so often lost my dreams in the torrents of life that beat down upon me: the past, the fear, the indecision. On rare occasions the dream's song is heard again, and my heart beats differently when it does. My vision becomes clear. My lungs take in the sudden fresh air as if they would never breathe again. I am alive when the melody rings in my ears, my head, my heart.
I wish to share that melody with you. Very soon my dream and its song will begin to appear on these pages. Will you stay and listen to its song? Or will you turn back to the torrents?

I am a storyteller, but not a good one. The vision of the story is always better than what I place on the written page. I will share this vision, this story, as it appears to my eyes, and its song is heard in my ears. I pray you will be moved by my dream, my song, my vision, my story.

My Story...........starts with a man, a sick man, who may not be long for this world. He lies catatonic, life fed to him through the machine that keeps his lungs working. He is important, he is special, he has no idea of the power that exists in his mind. A mind that could indeed change a world.
