When I look at you, I am looking at me . . . In a time or place I have been, or will be.
Real...am I. Only when Thou art with me. Real...I am, Lives in remembrance of Thee.
If only we would cease giving others Reasons to resist our presence, Bear ourselves With what we burden them, Leaving no reason for blame . . . Then . . . that great silent rage Hidden in the human heart Would have to be seen for what it is: Violence looking for a war. Such a discovery would awaken Within the discerning soul The immediate, most intimate need To be the emb...
Dreams of greatness are formed by life undigested, The fleeting stuff of souls untested... Who'd sooner sleep in a fitful peace Than leap into Life's cleansing fires. For there already dwells Greatness uncontested, A Gift beyond time, a Title vested... In the waking hearts of warrior souls Enflamed alone by what God inspires.

Time served is the sentence before this deliberation...
This special writing complementing Guy's talk of November 21st, 2004, contains hidden treasures that hint at an entirely new way of living.
A battle is waged In the deep of me, An epic struggle 'Tween sand and sea, Where one resists The other, so free... Yet, no loss or gain Marks Eternity.
