Have you ever seen the different of streams that run through a forest? They can be deep or shal- muddy or clear, wide or narrow. Many shapes and sizes-just as are many people of many shapes and sizes. Take two from the many-one g through the forest, destroying things discriminately, hurting things without thought to it's actions, going only the way it s without consideration or meaning. The other-just wandering aim- , moving Without direction, without real purpose. It too moves but not destroyingionly wandering-seemingly alone, as if g, blindly, for something it cannot describe-afraid of taking istinct course. By chance of nature, the two meetg e plays upon what seems to be so strange. They come together-not tly-but quickly, silently, unalterably. The force and destructive power of e is lost, changed by the new water now flowing with it. The takes on a direction, a purpose. The raging stream is now unable to y because of the power of the mixture. It is as though it's will esire have been extinguished and replaced with a desire to live reate life. The wandering stream is now unable to change course ection. There is no need now. They flow together now, taking the with the badg able to handle anything that may try to disturb it se it now possesses the driving force of two in one body. Without the destructive power- ut the misdirectiontit becomes something new, something beau- nd unchangable. The blending has gone deep and changed both to degree that neither can return to it's previous state. If by chance they did part, each take a great deal from each other-leaving only part of what once f each. They would not be Whole-they would be of no worth but h other. They stay as one-more powerful ither alone-with direction and purpose, meaning and-Life. Paul I. Richards
