No amount of technique nor resources will compensate for what is lost in such a community. Such a community cannot control what happens to it, no matter how hard it tries, no matter how sophisticated its efforts. It needs to re-discover what it has lost, and to recognize and honestly acknowledge its need for what it has lost. The community needs to admit that what it has is no substitute for what it has lost. It needs to listen to its children who have a sense of reverence for the holy, and for the mysterious essence of being royal heroes in sacred places with real integrity. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
