D is for Drill

Hello,

I nearly forgot about the alphabet project with all that has been going on. So, D is for Drill. Why Drill, you say? What kind of drill?

A power drill with its own carrying case, that is the kind of drill. And why? I received it as a Christmas present a number of years ago while I was in college. I wanted is so I could complete "home" improvement projects. This really consisted of putting up four shelves and I don't recall using it again. But it was the sense of empowerment the drill brought me. That if I needed to I could.

Another gift I received recently is not quite so useful and probably won't empower me. It's a violin and I really don't have much musical ability. So, we'll see how that goes. I attempted to play violin in the fourth grade, but could not find a way to tell my teacher that I couldn't read music. He kept telling me to look at the time signature, but what I didn't get was how I knew which line corresponded to which note.

So, this is where balance in life lies. Something to give you structure, power, the ability to destroy, and something to give you humility and the ability to create. So, I hope you all create something powerful and something dreamy. Isn't dreams that are often the most powerful?

I have a dream....
