The End Or The Beginning?

Iwo Jima 1945------------------------Berlin 1945-----------------------

What captures your eye the most: the soldiers, the ruins, the flag or the History?

Fact: July 21, 1969 Vision: Sep 12, 1962

Fact: 40 years ago, on July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong placed his foot on the surface of the moon. He then said "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."

A moment of glory that we already know.

Before we realize the "factum" (latin fact) that can, at least in theory, be checked and either confirmed or denied, there was the vision or the desired end-point ... a vision to remind us why did we hold on in the 1st place...a vision of victory or failure... it reminds us of the need to carry on...

Sharing some of JFK's Rice Moon speech Sep. 12, 1962:

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too"

What will your fact be?

ASK Out Loud!

Kick starting my personal blog to share the prospective and prespective of life as we experience it... the rest is yet to come...
