Hail Friends--
As the new year approaches, I extend my thanks to the many fruitful contacts and friendly connections I've made with many of you during my 1st year here on the internet. I am constantly amazed by the talented and thoughtful people I encounter. Your unique contributions to the world are appreciated by those of us who dare to forge our own paths toward our respective Destiny.
It is easy to allow oneself to be told how to think and behave. It is much more difficult to defy conventional thought or dogma, to shed the societal conditioning imposed upon the masses from childhood by those who wield power over the weak-willed, who propagate the sense of fear and futility in the Flock, forcing a conformity toward pre-established roles in society, denying unconventional thought or creative expression.
Continue to be strong and resolute in your desires to attain the Vision of what it is YOU wish to contribute in the future, or that which you wish to preserve in the present. Defy oppression of any kind. Be always True and Fight to preserve your Integrity daily.
YOU matter in this world. The naysayers betray their fear and envy by attempting to plant seeds of doubt and compromise within you.
The road toward true Individuality and Self-Affirmation requires great risk and sacrifice. I have seen many fall in the glorious struggle. It can be a brutal Battleground to be sure, but with continued dedication and the will to Victory -- To a Triumph Without Compromise -- you can attain the high ground, climbing from the carnage and forging fearlessly Forward to fulfill your Destiny!
Continued Strength & Integrity in 2008...
