A) Discovery Of HIS Love For Me
My GREAT FATHER blesses me with Empowerment, like unto the Elm Tree.
Granted through HIS Teaching – abundance without end, granting rich supply…
-charting a course that surpasses one of destiny
-seeking a knowledge of the very best alternatives, following through
-turning from parts of the past which are painful to remember – looking instead to that which will be difficult and challenging, fulfilling and rewarding
The Elm Tree symbolizes Wisdom, Strength of Will and Intuition.

B) In The Spirit Of My Elders
I learn that the lessons of Empowerment are given through those who have gone before me. It is from them that I understand Endurance is more than overcoming adversity. It is a commitment to preserve the Spiritual Center of our way of living. No matter how hard the path has been, My Elders have passed on to me, a compass that will keep me pointed in the right direction. This is my moment to keep on moving.

F) Love Is A Light On The Road by Chaplain Michael L. Benedict
The road ahead is sharp and steep, still it leads us on.
O'er mountains high, through valleys deep, all are bound for home.
Strangers there will never be, for we all are Family.
We walk the path in unity.
Love is a light on the road.
Hands reach with care, to a brother along the way.
Hands reach to take a sister's load, when the sky is cold and gray.
Compassion in the hour of fear, lifting the fallen who sheds a tear.
Giving comfort to a tattered soul.
Love is a light on the road.
Come the storm, should we be thrown from the way that we have known,
blinding rain and stones may fall, a cold, biting wind may blow.
The same hands that reached for aid, will reach out to see we're saved,
compassion's circle, wide will grow.
Love is a light on the road.
We search for them, they call for us, we search to find the way at dawn.
The night is dark when shadows fall, we long for the light of day.
Their hunger fed, an evening meal, a sign-post up ahead revealed,
a blanket shared, a wound be healed.
Love is a light on the road.
G) My Dance Of Empowerment And Life Needs by Chaplain Michael L. Benedict
My rhythm and song unite with Winds Of The Four Directions, The Four Legged Of The Land; The Winged Of The Air; The Fish Of The Water. All are as Trail Guides along The Spiritual Journey. Theirs is given by THE GREAT FATHER to lead through terrain, meadows, lake shores and byways, toward the peak that awaits, toward the next valley and yes, the ever awaiting horizon.
Still, we share the journey with gratitude that we are a part of a Spiritual Journey that is as magnificent as THE GREAT FATHER who placed us here.
This is My Rhythm of Awareness.
This is My Song of Understanding.
This is My Harmony which unites with:
The Divinity Of The Eagle;
The Patience Of The Turtle;
The Nobility Of The Hawk;
The Passion Of The Falcon;
The Self-reliance Of The Heron.
