Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart the beauty that forms in your mind the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts for out of them will grow delightful conditions all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them your world will at last be built.
A new vision of development is emerging. Development is becoming a people-centered process whose ultimate goal must be the improvement of the human condition.
I chanced on a wonderful book by Marius von Senden called Space and Sight. . . . For the newly sighted vision is pure sensation unencumbered by meaning: The girl went through the experience that we all go through and forget the moment we are born. She saw but it did not mean anything but a lot of different kinds of brightness. . . . In general the newly sighted see the world as a dazzle of color-patches. They are pleased by the sensation of color and learn quickly to name the colors but the rest of seeing is tormentingly difficult. . . . The mental effort involved . . . proves overwhelming for many patients. It oppresses them to realize if they ever do at all the tremendous size of the world which they had previously conceived of as something touchingly manageable. . . . A disheartening number of them refuse to use their new vision continuing to go over objects with their tongues and lapsing into apathy and despair. . . . On the other hand many newly sighted people speak well of the world and teach us how dull is our own vision.
Until he [man] has become fully human until he learns to conduct himself as a member of the earth he will continue to create gods who will destroy him. The tragedy of Greece lies not in the destruction of a great culture but in the abortion of a great vision.
Vision: the art of seeing the invisible.

You wish to see; listen. Hearing is a step toward Vision.

Where there is no vision a people perish.
Because of the interconnectedness of all minds affirming a positive vision may be about the most sophisticated action any one of us can take.
Where there is no vision the people perish….
Until he [man] has become fully human until he learns to conduct himself as a member of the earth he will continue to create gods who will destroy him. The tragedy of Greece lies not in the destruction of a great culture but in the abortion of a great vision.
Where there is no vision people perish. But he that keepeth the law happy is he.
A vision without a task is but a dream a task without a vision is drudgery a vision and a task is the hope of the world.
