the ways of the heart

My friends,how desperately do we need to be loved and to love.When Christ said that man does not live without bread alone,he spoke of a hunger,This hunger was not the hunger of the body.It was not the hunger for bread.He spoke of a hunger that begins deep down in the very depths of our being.He spoke of a need as vital as breath.He spoke of our hunger for love.
Love is something you and I must have.We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it.We must have it because without it we become weak and faint.Without love our self-esteem weakens.Without it our courage fails.Without Love we can no longer look out confidently at the world.We turn inward and begin to feed upon our own personalities,and little by little we destroy ourselves.
With it we are creative.With it we march tirelessly.With it,and with it alone,we are able to sacrifice for others.

Chief Dan George



Friendship is held to be the severest test of character.It is easy,we think,to be loyal to family and clan,whose blood is in our own veins.Love between man and woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire ans self-seeking.But to have a friend,and to be true under any and all trials,is the mark of a man!
