Echoes of My Generation: Journal 007 07/18/06

Yesterday was my moms birthday
I told her happy birthday and gave her $10 that I had been trying to give her for a week now
I'm watching Lord of the Rings the two towers right now
And I'm learning so much from the plights of mighty men
Men who hold high their standards
I watched as some couldnt deny themselves the temptation of the ring
While others succesfully fought off its seducing powers
The most humble men, The quietest, the most reserved
And I imagine myself in their shoes
I am much like them in my day to day life
Refusing to let go of the good that dwells in me
Helping others before I help myself
And even now, as I reflect back on that I see the error of so many
Believing that they have to make themselves perfect before they can help others
I suggest that we can draw from the good that is in us
We all have something to share, some way to help others
And at no time can we ever give up

Even if there is a chance that we may be harmed along the way
And in that sense I feel that I am a King
And all those that feel likewise shall also take their perspective titles as Kings and Queens
We are the few that recognize life as being about more than what glitters and gleams
We are those that feel there is some hope within a few of us
My wife just called
It seems my sons have pink eye
and the oldest also has poison Ivy
What a way to end your summer huh?

I
My soul is overcome with a will to go on
I truly believe that I server a greater purpose
Even while some say that I am doing good things
There has to be more that i can do...

One Love,
