Facilichatter: /Fa sil i chat er / You have to change only one letter in worD, to make it worK. In reality, it takes a lot more than that! Perhaps the most difficult task, any politician or employer faces, is using words to motivate others to take action, to do the hard work, and the right work. Sadly, such facilichatter remains a dream. People want money for their labor, and other tangible rewards, as well as, the right chatting up! We are all beautifuldreamers, for we all, carry hopes and dreams for a better world … and most people work to make them happen. Etymology: FACILITATOR, CHATTER. Facilitator – somebody enabling something to happen. Chatter – utter words, especially words that will inspire sombody to make something happen. /// BEAUTIFULDREAMER is an eponym for any person who hopes and dreams of a better world. Beautful Dreamer is also the title of a song. The lyrics are in comments below.

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dew drops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull’d by the moonlight have all pass’d a way!Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life’s busy throng.Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie,
Over the streamlet vapours are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E’en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,Beautiful dreamer awake unto me!

Terrific word and sentence. Thanks for the words to Stephen Foster’s “Beautiful dreamer” Another of his great works is “Hard Times”There’s a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh Hard times come again no more.
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.There’s a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o’er:
Though her voice would be merry, ’tis sighing all the day,
Oh hard times come again no more.‘Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
‘Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore,
‘Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave,
Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.Sad to think that Foster was dead, of alcoholism, at 37.

Brilliant and inspirational. Foster was truly great. Might I add:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me…
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me…
I’ve roamed and rambled and I’ve followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me…
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me…
As I was walkin’ – I saw a sign there
And that sign said – no tress passin’
But on the other side …. it didn’t say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!…
In the squares of the city – In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office – I see my people
And some are grumblin’ and some are wonderin’
If this land’s still made for you and me.

Extremely Excellent. The need for an Atlas to shoulder the atlas, the book of all places and things of this world, and to do it with hope … to aspire to make it better.TJayzz, 2009-01-20: 13:48:00
