a quick note

Hahnny: you bring me great joy.
Nathan: I am glad that you are enjoying the music. It sounds as if you are doing well. To clear the confusion no I am not affiliated with AIM; however, the missionaries I am currently working with (the russells) have been AIM missionaries for ten years.
Bitter Buffalo: I am not really clear on who you are but you are more than welcome to join the ride and keep posted on what is happening on this journey. And in response to your quote I would say that I know the feeling; it is among a slew of feelings of which I have not yet figured out what to do with (but I am hoping for transformation in my life as I am here). The other day I sat in what was a archetypical compassion international commercial. I sat among all the children caring for the other children, with flies all over them. I do not know what to do yet with my compassion/lack of compassion for these children. I wrote a message today for the equality of women and will (hopefully) speak tomorrow afternoon. I hope it will help changeforthebetter the situation I sat in the other day.

And he is healed because you offered faith to him, giving him to the Holy Spirit and releasing him from every demand you ego would make of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the Holy Spirit share. And since He shared it He has given it, and so He heals through you. It is this joining Him in a united purpose that makes this purpose real, because you make it whole. An this IS healing. The body is healed because you came without it, and joined the Mind in which all healing rests." - A.C.M. I found peace in this paragraph and hope it brings you such. The experiences you write are humbling and overwhelming - My prayers are with you. -

You my friend are in the hands of God- (the original ‘hands’) I am excited and wanting to be there with you, I think because he that lives in me longs that I would more fully live in him- like you are doing right now. "11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14 I think and pray for you often!

I am praying for you brother and will write you soon. Will the russles' adddress be useful for post if I send something next week by sea?

Rooted in the deep currents of love, positioned alongside the sun and stars the alchemist seeks out what is to be his life in the grit of the desert. And so it is that all who search out their Personal Legend(or what have you), search for them in the grit of the desert. Anyone who searches and believes in his purpose, his listening, is himself an alchemist of sorts. Though some may die in their journeys, it is better to die living one's Personal Legend than to die a man with every longing sitting in the front of his mind abated by what he may lose. A life lived in fear is hardly a life at all because a life lived in fear cannot talk with the heart. Each person has their Personal Legend which they must be sensitive to, each of us must listen, take courage and go where we must. We may lose all that we have built and worked for, but it is not in the past that we live, nor is it in the future of what we may achieve. As each of us go we must look only to the present for direction. I cannot let tomorrow decide today; tomorrow only knows about itself and may distract me from what I must do today. Each day waits in line for its turn, and to rob it of any of its fullness will tear it into a million pieces and dismiss all its waiting as nothing. The days are evil to one another, and they fight to get as much out of you as they can. Each day wants you to prepare everyday prior for it, and make you forget that there is any day after it to occupy your mind. So allow nothing to make you waver, nothing to make you hinder giving today for what it has waited an eternity. Each event is sacred. The days hold creation in its place, and creation groans for you to experience it, to listen. Our hearts are fragile, that is why they must be guarded in the center of the body. Without the heart a person cannot be alive, and without listening to the heart a person cannot find his Personal Legend; that is to say, he cannot be the person God created him to be. Our hearts are more than just physically fragile; they wish not to suffer. And when one lives fighting for what he believes in the heart suffers. What we must teach our hearts is: 'that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second-encounter with God and with eternity.' Our hearts are what is egging us on in the journey in the first place, we are following what God has spun in our hearts before we were ever conceived. And as they feel pain so they will feel purpose. As we seek out our Personal Legend, or dreams, or the 'What(ever)', or the person we were created to be we must be soft to the world. Education has made us jaded, people have stolen our trust, we have given things we regret, violence has taken its hand at making us so; but we must remain soft and full of spirited Joy. We must continue to trust and give to the world, to be open and authentic with those we meet. The road is treacherous with many thieves and evils - this we cannot forget, and as love and peace are our companions so are shrewdness and wits. 'Most people see the world as a threatening place, and because they do, the world turns out, indeed, to be a threatening place.' Keep seeing the world as beautiful, peaceful, and full of God. Talk and learn from its people, learn from creation, and listen to that which God has put in your path for it is not a mistake, but an intention of God himself. Believe. Live. Love. Seek with all your strength and heart and you will, without a doubt, find.
