There are two voices to think about as an elder and they are not easy for some to digest, or begin to fathom. But the Elders need to consider them.

First 

"How Can Something So Gangsta Be So Pretty In Pictures?" is the type of caption to young people's lives many believe reflects them. Those captions say what they intend to say, but as life ferrets itself out certain outcomes play into their lives as consequences shortening their life span, retarding, or crushing dreams and hushing the sound of aspirations.  How adults re-direct our lives will help tutor the young people in our midst. We, older ones, need to be the direction of the young until they can. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.18.13

Second

A pastor said, "A person without vision is similar to a person in quicksand; going nowhere."

I think, " Yeah, with the possibility of hope. There is always hope if one can catch a glimmer of the dream we are born with. It is a start. Many people's sense of self, the reason they were born is torn out of them by their parent's fears and failures. School teachers, people on the street, classmates, preachers, certain things on TV inform people's sense of self, and often the ability to dream or remember is taken away by those people. How does anyone help them remember if the belief systems around them are powerless to give birth to vision? It is a real struggle for many people in a society, a culture that rewards the faint of heart with complacency. It is more of a challenge to restore confidence in the belief and powers of magic if one believes he or she is born into sin. It pierces the magic of life with doubt." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
