For all we know, at this very moment, somewhere far beyond all those distant stars, Benny Russell is dreaming of us.

If I were a carpenter, I'd find a way to empower using that skill. I'm using as much as God has given - my mind, my voice, my heart, my art forms. This is the highest form of expression on the planet from God, to me, to you.

Hold on to your dream. Don't let the people shake you from your dream. Don't let form become more important than the substance of your heart and mind. Don't let commerce determine what you do exclusively.

Until the world in some way changes, then my responsibility is to share what I know and more importantly to behave like I know about the extraordinary work and effort and blood shed for me to be able to sit here.

Hold on to your dream. Don't let the people shake you from your dream.

People do not connect with what happened last week, let alone what happened 20 years ago.
