I Have A Today Dream

I have a today dream. To fully accept and integrate individuals with different abilities into society.
You may say that is easier said than done.
I will say that you are right. And that’s ok. I never cared much for easy anyway. There is no growth in easy. If we are not growing, well then, we are surely dying.
That is why I have a today dream:
Today we will not shun but see the value in another’s gifts different from our own.
Today we will release fear and embrace new experiences as prodigious teachers.
Today we will understand that slowing down often gets us exactly where need to be right on time.
Today we will freely offer support where it is needed knowing it will not return to us in kind. It will be exponentially greater.
Today we will understand that limits are preconceived and we all possess a value that shall never be underestimated.
Today we will measure success in terms of how we best work together to achieve our own varied and personal goals.
Today we will live up to what we already know.
Today is the day. Someday does not exist.
