Ok, so this really isn't about unlimited power, but I thought it would make a great title.
I have a roommate who is getting married. He is a good friend and we've been room and apartment mates for over two years now.
I have another friend who I will see tonight. Good friend--we don't talk a whole lot.
As Nathan was preparing the tunnel adventure I began to feel like it was in the "old days." While talking to another friend today about film, writing, changing the world and all that I also began to feel that "old days" feeling.
Now I combine the friends and "old days" comments to mean this:
Why is it that I have good friends but none ever as good? I have lots of friends but none as collectively powerful. I still find it fascinating. You are still the closest and most noble friends I have.
I still hope that we are in the beginnings of our adventures. Benjamin once spoke about the tremendous power we have collectively and hence the tremendous obligation to do good in the world.
I believe the future still holds much for us yet, not because fate will inevitably throw herself in our way but because we will choose to do it. "For the power is in us..."
