The other day my reflections took me to the fact that we Bakerfolks have been involved with a series of urban visions for our community over the past few years.
Visions are understandings, ideas and illusions.
These visions have been articulated twice publicly under two different Mayor s Price and Hall. They have as well been articulated under the sponsorship of the private non-profit Downtown Business Association and the Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce. When we look at the meaning of dreams we are confronted with thoughts of a person in sleep. That's why dreamers are lonely. These two separate thoughts amused me at first, yet in reflection made me think that in creation, God had the power of vision and then made it so in a biblical time frame.
