THINK!

Excerpt from Dr. Seuss' Oh, the Thinks you can Think!

"Think of black water.
Think up a white sky.
Think up a boat.
Think of BLOOGS blowing by.

You can think about Night,
a night in Na-Nupp.
The birds are asleep
and the three moons are up

You can think about Day,
a day in Da-Dake.
the water is blue
and the birds are awake.

Think! Think and wonder.
Wonder and think.
How much water
can fifty-five elephants drink?

THINK! You can think
any THINK
that you wish...
Think
a race
on a horse
on a ball
with a fish!

Think left and think right
and think low and think high
Oh, the THINKS you can think up if only you try!"

We once used to be able to think up colorful creatures and non-existent places. Hell, some of us would even get into cardboard boxes and actually go to some of these places. Many of us have forgotten how to think, how to wonder, and how to dream.

We may all be able to learn something from Dr. Seuss. Surely we can think up a different tomorrow. A tomorrow with no homeless people on the corner; a tomorrow where police officers help old people cross the street; a tomorrow where all kids have the opportunity to learn; a tomorrow where sick people go to the doctors and pay for their services with a smile; a tomorrow where people are seen by doctors before they get sick; a tomorrow...
