"The work goes on! The cause endures! The hope still lives! AND the dreams shall never die!" This week we pay tribute to a "Liberal Lion" of the US Senate, Senator Edward "Ted" M. Kennedy. The Irish eyes will remain shining on this legacy that Ted, his brothers and family have left us ALL to carry on. We should all take up where Sen. Ted Kennedy left off and make sure that ... "The Dreams Shall Never Die!"
The Kennedy brothers left us many things. They inspired us! They challenged us! AND ... They gave us Hope for a Better America for ALL!
Another quote I shall remember and take to heart is, "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not."
The Kennedy brothers have stated in their actions that, "Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of Hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
This is not really the end to an era, but the beginning of a new beginning as the Kennedy's inspired, challenged and showed us that, "Our profound losses are survivable."
Yes We Can ... Transform loss -- look towards the brighter, optimistic side of Life -- And make something positive out of something negative!
We can learn a lot from what the Honorable Senator Edward M. Kennedy left behind. Senator Kennedy used his gift and purpose in life to give those a voice who had none and equal justice for all. Let us ALL continue and build upon the legacy he leaves us ALL! May the Irish eyes keep shining and smiling!
