"You can't help someone get up a hill without getting
closer to the top yourself."
H. Norman Schwarzkopf

And A Meadow Lark
Sang
"The child whispered, 'God, speak to me'
And a meadow lark sang.
The child did not hear.
So the
child yelled, 'God, speak to me!'
And the thunder rolled across
the sky
But the child did not listen.
The child looked
around and said,
'God let me see you' and a star shone brightly
But the child did not notice.
And the child shouted,
'God
show me a miracle!'
And a life was born but the child did not know.
So the child cried out in despair,
'Touch me God, and let me
know you are here!'
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the
child.
But the child brushed the butterfly away
And walked
away unknowingly."
Ravindra Kumar Karnani
