Who
We Are...
Copyright, 1998, David Lloyd Strauss We Are Sculptors, Our Body, Mind and Life, Our
Tools Are Love, Honesty, Patience, Compassion, Attentiveness, Sincerity,
Quietude, Humor And Tears; All Of Which, When Combined Create The
Perfect Expression Of Life. Who We Are, The Image We Hold Of Ourselves,
Is The Sum Of Our Thoughts And Beliefs About Our Self And Personality,
And Is Only As Attractive As We Perceive It, And Create It To Be. Life Is Simply The Pulse Of Thought, Action
And Inaction, And The Dance Of Emotions Is As Much A Natural Part Of Our
Existence As Is The Setting Of The Sun, And Changing Of The Tides. And with the changing tides of Life, To Have
Love For Another Is Also The Intended Course Of Life. And Loving Another
And One Another, Matters Not If It Is Man Or Woman.
Rather, It Is The Impetus To Be With Another, To Care, Support,
Encourage, And Be Truthful That Unites The Flame Of Humanity. In Some Moments Of Time There Is Great
Action, In Others, Stillness. Yet
Even Amidst Stillness, Life Continues It's Pulse.
It Is With Action However, And The Courage To Move Forward That
We Become A Part Of The Tidal Waves Of
Growth Through The Changing Currents Of Experience. It Is Said That Extraordinary Stories
Come From People Who Have Chosen To Be Extra-Ordinary.
From People Who Have Taken The Chance To Stretch And Extend
Beyond The Bounds Of Fear And Uncertainty, Into The Realms Of Spirit,
Beyond Mundane Thought And Expression. In fact, Those That Choose To Be Guided By
The Laws Of Love Will Find Themselves In An Ocean Of Abundance, Mercy,
Grace, Compassion And Fulfillment. Yet It Is Not The Behavior Of Love,
But The Choice To Be, To Mirror And To Reflect The Way Of Love That
Brings The Us Into The True Path Of Life, What Some Call, The Path Of
The Heart. Anger And Hatred, As Much As They Are
Feared And Avoided, Are As Much A Part Of Love As Are Grace, Mercy And
Compassion. The Human Experience Then Is Not One
Of Constant Joy And Serenity, But Rather A Dance Of Honesty Of Emotions
And Feelings. The Simplicity Is Then Revealed... Seek We Not First Honesty With Others,
But With Ourselves, For By Being True To Ourselves, We Fortify Our Will
To Be Honest With Others. In fact, The Greatest Bearer Of
Non-Truth Are The Fears We Hold Onto Which Create The Walls That Shelter
Us From Who We Truly Are, And These Walls Are The Barriers Which Hold Us
Back From Our Truest Potential. Interestingly,
It Is Not What We Have Done In Times Past That Burdens Our Soul, But
That Which We Hold Onto, And Carry With Us That Acts As The Ball And
Shackle Against Freedom And
Change. True Freedom Then Is Not Only The
Capacity To Say No But Also The Ability To Discern Away From Those
Experiences Which May Lead Us Away From The Truth Of Our Heart. True Freedom Comes In Time With The
Commitment To Flexibility In Character And Belief, And Through A Heart
That Is Willing To Learn And Grow. With True Freedom, Comes True Love.
And The Truth Of True Love, As Simple As It Is, Can Seem Deeply Hidden. True Love Is Not Something Sought
Outwardly, But Rather Sought And Found Within The Aspirations Of
Friendly, Honest Relations With One's Own Self. In Summary, Life Is The Opportunity To Learn To Love Ourselves, And To Express That Love, By Loving Others. Loving Another Is The Greatest Expression Of Our Freedom. David Lloyd Strauss
