“A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone’s knowledge of himself and the world around him.”
—Dylan Thomas

Great quotes Ron. I agree with your statement as well. This election year has been the most difficult I’ve ever experienced and it has divided people even within families. In order for America to remain a powerful nation we must all come together. It isn’t about being carbon copies of each other or agreeing on everything. It’s about showing respect, empathy and consideration for one another and embracing our differences. Great word––unity. 😀 xx
