Today I walked out on the Central Avenue Bridge and this is the picture I took from the middle of the bridge. What you see in the picture is the southeastern tip of Nicollet Island, which has for some time now been littered with this large piece of plywood. I have seen it before, but always it had been the yellowish color of wood and covered with incomprehensible scrawls of graffiti. It was truly an eyesore. Today, however, it would appear that some enterprising local has decided to send the world a message. Whomever he or she may be, I send out my thanks for the encouraging word, and for turning an ugly piece of refuse littering the shore into something that blends in more attractively with its surroundings and serves a noble purpose: reminding us all that it is important to dream.Life flows on, in and around us—sometimes calling out to us with a single word that has the power to cast our day—our lives and what we are doing with them—in a whole light.
