TRUE INNOCENCE

Whatever seas one has sailed or mountains one has climbed, it becomes evident that the world is large indeed, and no matter how vast a store of knowledge or experience one accumulates there is always a bountiful amount still left to know and a larger quantity that remains hidden. And the more we know, the more we discover that we do not know.That being the case, we share to some small extent the uneven vista of the idiot savant in all their brilliance and ineptitude. We are totally clueless on…See More

Choosing the Good

There is a sweetness to life that comes to a person whose motives are pure and whose vision is true. When your spirit is tranquil and you wish no harm to any other person, then all the power of your mind can concentrate on the task at hand. Then you can truly be free in your mind.Once you achieve a precarious balance between the demands and judgements of the harsh world at large and the self-acceptance of one's own value and integrity in the face of all odds, you can appreciate the adage that…See More

How to find God

Are the true riches of life our net worth?

God wants us to prosper. He has provided us with abundance in all things. There is one provisio:We do not have the right to waste or make poor use of our natural endowments. We have acertain responsibiliy to use what we need to live and to leave the rest. We have the power now to harvest from the Earth and Sea very efficiently, perhaps too efficiently.

             THE EARTH IS SACRED



"There is no quiet place in the white man's cities.  No place to hear

     Look into the eyes of your children and remember you were once like them, innocent and full of

wonder and hope, and think of what we owe to them and what we owe to those who came before us.

And then look in the mirror deep into your own eyes and see the part of you that is holy and still capable
