The Path: an inserational message

i did some meditation the other night and
message came to me, i know not where from, but i felt that i should
share it. Please share it with those who need to hear it.





The message was:


The path is yours to follow, keeping in mind that Events have Their
own speed, They unfold as it is Willed that They should do so. Also
remember that the path the you follow wil join the path of O/others,
some times for a short while, some times for a long time, and with the
path of The One For You, the rest of Y/your lives as two paths become
one. The only way to know the ones from The Other is to walk the miles
to the end of your path.




Yesterday i found the song "The Mary Ellen Carter" on youtube. i
feel that this is the most powerful song i have heard. i would
recommend that everyone listen to it. There is a set of lines that is
particularly powerful. These line have saved at least one life.





And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow

With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go

Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain

And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.



Rise again, rise again - though your heart it be broken

Or life about to end.

No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend,

Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.



The most powerful version i have heard is at the following url:

From the wikipedia.org article:



So inspiring is the song that it is
credited with saving at least one life. On February 12, 1983 the ship
Marine Electric was carrying a load of coal from Norfolk, Virginia to a
power station in Somerset, Massachusetts. The worst storm in forty
years blew up that night and the ship sank at about four o'clock in the
morning on the 13th. The ship's Chief Mate, fifty-nine-year-old Robert
("Bob") M. Cusick, was trapped under the deckhouse as the ship went
down. His snorkelling experience helped him avoid panic and swim to the
surface, but he had to spend the night alone, up to his neck in water,
clinging to a partially deflated lifeboat, and in water barely above
freezing and air much colder. Huge waves washed over him, and each time
he wasn't sure that he would ever reach the surface again to breathe.
Battling hypothermia, he became tempted to allow himself to fall
unconscious and let go of the lifeboat. Just then he remembered the
words to the song "The Mary Ellen Carter."


He started to sing it and soon was alternating shouting out "Rise
again, rise again" with holding his breath as the waves washed over
him. At seven o'clock that morning a Coast Guard helicopter spotted him
and pulled him to safety.


Fare T/thee well and may God bless you and keep you.
