“Helen Keller” by Langston Hughes
In the dark,
found light.
Brighter than, many ever see,
Within herself,
Found lovliness,
Though all souls can master,
And now the world receives
From her dower
The message of her strength
of inner power.

“Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.” — J. Goethe
Mark Twain reminds us to “Get the story in place, then find rhyme in your reason.” Two important days in your life: When you were born and why you were born. About the time Twain visited Israel Abraham Lincoln cautioned America. With reference to the Constitution he said: “We have been recipients of choicest bounties of heaven…we have become too proud to pray to the God that made us.”
The Constitution led America to define themselves by their shared values not by their inconsequential appearances. The melting pot ethos of e pluribus unum blending diverse people into one through assimilation, integration and intermarriage. The US has the foundation of the oldest Constitutional Republic still in existence today. It was primarily designed to protect personal freedom, property, and individual liberty from both oppressive government elites and periodic mob frenzies.
