Like the elephant, we are unconscious of our own strength. When it comes to understanding the power we have to make a difference in our own lives, we might as well be asleep. If you want to make your dreams come true, wake up. Wake up to your own strength. Wake up to the role you play in your own destiny. Wake up to the power you have to choose what you think, do, and say.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Kahlil Gibran, (1883 - 1931) "The Vision"

For the eye is fastened on the life, and slights the circumstance. Every chemical substance, every plant, every animal in its growth, teaches the unity of cause, the variety of appearance.
From History by R.W. Emerson
-north sprite
|
|
|
The progress of the intellect is to the clearer vision of causes, which neglects surface differences. To the poet, to the philosopher, to the saint, all things are friendly and sacred, all events profitable, all days holy, all men divine.
-north sprite

|
|
The difference between men is in their principle of association. Some men classify objects by color and size and other accidents of appearance; others by intrinsic likeness, or by the relation of cause and effect.

Ah, 'tis then I love to wander,
Wander idly and alone,
Listening to the solemn music
Of sweet nature's undertone;
Wrapt in thoughts I cannot utter,
Dreams my tongue cannot express,
Dreams that match the autumn's sadness
In their longing tenderness."

"I know the year is dying,
Soon the summer will be dead.
I can trace it in the flying
Of the black crows overhead;
I can hear it in the rustle
Of the dead leaves as I pass,
And the south wind's plaintive sighing
Through the dry and withered grass.

I will speak to no other human being for four days. I will listen to the wind through the tree tops and the chatter of the birds or the rustle of the darting chipmunks and squirrels.

A warrior of light is in the world to help his fellow man, not to condemn his neighbour.
-karen
|
|
|
A warrior of light is never indifferent to injustice.
He knows that all is one and that each individual action affects everyone on the planet. That is why, when confronted by the suffering of others, he uses his sword to restore order.
But even though he fights against oppression, at no point does he attempt to judge the oppressor. Each person will answer for his actions before God and so, once the warrior has completed his task, he makes no further comment.

Love IS divine Power! And it is that divine power that will shape our future IF we allow it to.
If we prefer anger, fear, bitterness, lust, routine or anything else at all over love then we seal our fate.
But if we prefer LOVE over all else, despite the difficulties of that choice, despite the ridicule of our peers, despite the rejection, the pain, the down-right fucking challenge of it, then we create a world that values all and in which all knows the beauty of love without the pain of rejection.

That's why a majority of "Christians" (lamb-like) support war and killing.
those who do not exhibit the true character of Christ believe they have a right
to do this. their plans belie their ferocious, murderous ways - the wolves in

The Lamb-like beast (the Second Beast) does the dirty work for the First Beast who controls it from the shadows.

Revelation 13 -
the first beast ; zionism.
the second beast; represents world-wide Christianity (looks like a lamb) It masquerades as a group of followers of Christ .
World-wide organized apostate Christianity, is in complete collusion with the first wild beast, the Anti-Christ power - Zionism - that rules the world.

The thing I enjoyed most from that story is that it reminded me thatwe have no way of accurately assuming how far reaching our actions become. An effort to quiet a restless classroom, became something much more defining for more than one of those students. The teacher just made the effort within the moment of opportunity.

I never thought a rat would make a good pet! She is our last pet. We lost our 2 dogs last year, and our cat who lived to be 19! now we only have a rat and a fish. and the fish, proportionately, has outlived all of them!! weird...ironic....

HI Jimmy. Tomorrow will be a sad day. Our pet Rat will be put to sleep. She is the sweetest rat in the world. I never thought we would have a pet rat, but a friend of mine's granddaughter couldn't keep her anymore, and asked us to take her for a week while they went on vacation, and she was so sweet and loving, but she starting getting a tumor and now she can't use her leg. And now she's in pain. So we have one more day to love her, and then she will be gone. :(

this past year they did get into a very good school finally.
are your kids going to college? the home schooled kids I have met usually do much better initially on testing, and as long as they are prepared for what can happen in college and have a good work ethic they do pretty well, if not better, than otherwise educated kids.
->-^-:P
|
|
|
thats awesome zar.
->-^-:P
|
|

I considered it, and probably would have had I been able to stay home. I had to go back to work when my kids were 2 and 5 and my husband was laid off. He went back to school and got a tech degree, but the jobs have been far and few between. The "plan" was that as soon as he got a full time permanent job I would go back home, and I probably would have home schooled, considering the choices here. but, that plan did not work out.
->-^-:P
|
|
|
Really you home schooled both your kids, by yourself?
->-^-:P
|
|
|
not supposed to say such things, working for the system and all....
->-^-:P
|
|
|
it turns out that the career path for teaching happens to be within the established educational system, so really I have no choice, unless the framework changes a whole lot. This could potentially happen as technology becomes more and more available and versatile. More and more people can become self-educated if there are quality teaching tools online...maybe we wouldn't need teachers anymore? (did i say that out loud?) haha.
->-^-:P
|
|
|
Basically I asked myself, "what would I do, if I were a grownup?" and the answer was, "I would be a teacher."
->-^-:P
|
|
|
I think that yes, it will, simply because when I am as clearheaded and well as I can be, I am able to envision myself teaching. I think there is a huge lack of caring, competent teachers out there who are able to keep the attention of a class, care enough to deal with individual students' problems, and still be able to keep discipline.
->-^-:P

i think in the case of yours and gnarly's viewpoints, i will just have to agree to disagree, in the area that you know is touchy for me. I felt that it would have been irresponsible of me to NOT respond, however, I really just don't want to dialogue about that particular subject...
