Eagle Heart,
Your post was lovely.If only the world thought as you do! You are special and open and all of the things I can count as "good," in a person.

Here, I try to be me. No one can see me and I find I have less of an intense effect if no one can.. I belonged to another forum for some time but had problems there for being "too popular." I had woman competeing with me on posts! It was uncomfortable and soon stifled me.

If only I could be a light, Eagle Heart, I would be happy. I have been told I have a light that shines but I'm not sure. I hope I have an induvidual voice because, to me, that is an important thing in this country and this world.

I have been "down," for awhile due to illness. I am picking myself up again with a disablity now, and trying to start to speak in "my voice," and open my world again. I've no idea where this will take me but I WILL follow that road because that is who I am...I take the road that rolls out in front of me if it is true to my heart.

Thank you, Eagle Heart, for reminding me of the lights that are in people and how very important they are! I don't apply that to myself very often but do so to my students or those younger than myself. I must remember to treat myself as I treat others.

Your post lifted me up, and I'm happy you responded.
