We Took the Oath

Today we took the Writer's Oath, that is, those of us who were so inclined. Others among us were more reticent. Langston Hughes inspired us with his poetry. He speaks of dreams and encourages us to follow ours: "All you who are dreamers too, Help me make our world anew. I reach out my dreams to you." He dared to dream at a time when dreams were hard to come by. Do we have the courage to follow our dreams? Can we encourage others to follow theirs?
