“Hold fast to dreams -
For if dreams die -
Life is a broken-winged bird -
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams -
For when dreams go -
Life is a barren field -
Frozen with snow.”

The thoughts/photo idea came from this e-publication of Our State magazine - All about the Great North State - North Carolina - full of history, humor, recipes - and things not found in history books.
When the tape of Martin Luther King, Jr was located - I was hooked on where, how, when it happened.
Hope you get to read the history !
