There is a heck of a lot of the Good Force, or else -- to paraphrase the late Jim Morrison -- the whole shithouse would have gone up in flames. Our task, as I see it, is to increase that, while decreasing the negative force. No easy task, but not so hard as it will become if we do not.

Lately, talking with old friends, I've been thinking of when two friends and I picked up Chief Waterman, and visited Faith Keeper Oren Lyons at his cabin. My sons were wee-little, and played and ate treats that Oren served them. Then we discussed the traditional roles that various people can play, in an effort to create a synergy that could not only stop the negative in its tracks -- but accomplish good. I remember Oren speaking about combining the Good Force -- including nature -- to improve the quality of life for everyone.
