May You Know The Beauty Of Your

The Longing For Initiation Is Universal And For Modern Youth, It Is A Desperate Need. When Nothing Is Offered In The Way Of Spiritual Initiation To Prove One's Entry Into The World Of Men And Women, Initiation Happens Instead In The Road Or The Street, In Cars At High Speed, With Drugs, With Dangerous Sex, With Weapons. However Troubling, This Behavior Is Rooted In A Fundamental Truth; A Need To Grow.

We Must Look At Our Life Without Sentimentality, Exaggeration Or Idealism. Does What We Are Choosing Reflect What We Most Deeply Value?

To Live In This Precious Animal Body On This Earth Is As Great A Part Of Spiritual Life As Anything Else.

We Have Only Now, Only This Single Eternal Moment Opening And Unfolding Before Us, Day And Night.
