PRACTICE ELEVEN

"I bring goodness...you bring goodness and together we bring good goodness!" captures the essence of what we have let the world lose. It is our responsibility to place this energy on the world's agenda once again. We have work to do! Good work though, huh?” – Almas Jamil Sami

an African Choctaw GRANDFATHER'S STORY

Talking to my three year old grandson this weekend. 12.5.12

Him: "I need that big light on!"...

ME: "Why do you need that big light on if you are going to sleep? Isn't the lamp enough light for you to go to sleep?"

HIM: "No, Because I need to see"

ME: "But if you are sleeping it is already dark in your head...you don't see the light...your eyes are too closed to see the light"

HIM: "But, no...I need to see!

ME: "If I close my eyes, I cannot see this light...all I see is the dark in my head...see, watch, I am closing my eyes.......look......all I can see it the dark already in my head. Close your eyes and see what you see."
(he closes his yes and breaks out into a big grin....when he opened his eyes, they sparkled and looked like this picture of the Sun...right in front of my eyes he had an epiphany!)

We both laughed in the wonderful dimness of the lamp...he went to sleep, and I sat there in amazement at witnessing his brain work in live time. - Almas Jamil Sami'

STORMS

Whao! What a picture!!! Only a white man would have that kind of courage, or daring to brave the raging element of wind to take this picture. Gotta learn to respect that kind of power. GEW

The Courage To Be Me

Oh Mighty Creator, Grant me not gold,
Nor glamour, Nor the pretty,
but watch over me as I assemble the
Courage to think the right thoughts;
Courage to rest upon my convictions only;
Courage to overpower my fears;
Courage to be stronger than my weaknesses; Courage to rise after a fall;
Courage to stand alone for the sake of righteousness;
Courage to simply do the right thing and surely
. . .THE COURAGE TO BE ME.
I'll do the rest in service of you and yours.
