I'm on my way to see a good friend this morning... The word that comes to mind is "transformation". The change that I have witnessed in his life is more dramatic than that of a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. He has spent the better part of the last 12 years on the streets, and sincerely regrets many of the choices he has made. However, now incarcerated, he is doing some very powerful soul work; he has turned his focus and energy toward trying to help kids stay away from gangs and crime. He has begun to write his life story and intends to create a childrens book to help young people find alternatives to the life he chose... I am inspired to believe that ANYONE can change, NO MATTER WHAT-- if they just find the desire.
Catch it, come alive, pass it on.
