The right of self-determination
is not conferred by authority,
nor by a large majority,
nor even a small minority.
It is endowed upon the created
by our most loving Creator.
Freedom is our birthright, locked
within the heart of every soul.
So those who would limit the
freedom of others, seeking to
control their lives and fortunes
should now be forewarned.
Freedom may be suppressed
but it will never perish.
Freedom may be disregarded,
but will always be remembered.
Then the time will come when
freedom will break free from
all chains that hold it, exploding
again into full self-determination.
Sun beams fall on the leaves
of a lonesome Chestnut tree
spreading flecks of gilded light
down to the moist barren dirt.

We have within us all the power necessary to live fruitful, loving, and satisfying lives. However, most of us don’t tap into our inner resources; we just follow the path others have chosen for us, or take the path of least resistance. Choose your own path, start by taking back your power, gain the necessary knowledge, and find the courage to become yourself. All of us will not be rocket scientists, nor make fortunes in the stock market, but we all have something important to contribute. Find out what you want to bring to this world and pursue it. It is never too late, and you are never too old.
“Your greatness lies in the power of your thought.”

I heard a growl from the woods,
saw a gleam of flashing teeth.
Was a mother protecting her cubs?
I yanked my knife from its sheath.
The intruder could not be seen
through wiry tangle of brush.
I knew better than to run
exposing my position thus.
Like a stone statue I stood
deep in the darkened wood.
More than a mile from aid
with only my tiny blade.
My heart pounded in my chest
as leaves rustled round my feet.
A tiny bear was sniffing me,
his mother I cared not meet.
Life went into slow motion
I figured my time had come.
But I had so much to learn,
how could I die this dumb.
A huge growl sent baby bear
running for his little life.
While I stood faced with mother
holding only one small knife.
She stared me in the eye
with a funny puzzled look.
Resembling stone I stood
feeling like a schnook.
She sniffed and sniffed then
slowly moved away.
Scattering leaves before her
leaving me in disarray.
