Dark Clouds

Last night as I was watching the moon. I could see the clouds traveling in a South East direction. Some of the clouds were white and some were dark. I kept my eyes focused on the moon as the clouds passed underneath. At times I could not see the moon because the dark clouds were passing underneath the moon but I kept my focus on where the moon was. I noticed two others watching the moon and when the moon was covered by the dark clouds they both went inside. A thought entered my mind and worked its way down into my heart. We all have a purpose in this life. We are here for a reason. The moon symbolizes that purpose and reason. We need to focus on the reason we are here just as I kept my focus on the moon. Dark clouds will come into our life from time to time and may even keep you from seeing the end of your purpose but if you keep focus on the reason that you are here the dark clouds will pass shortly. Some do not know the reason that they are here and others will give up hope when the dark clouds block their view. The two that went inside when they could no longer see the moon is symbolic of what happens. They stop and give up. Others will look beyond the dark clouds and keep their focus knowing that it won't be long before the dark clouds pass by and you can clearly see again. You and I have a purpose here in this life. Do you know why you are here? If not it is possible to find out why. If you do what will you do when the dark clouds come into your life. Will you stay focused or will you give up. The dark clouds will come into your life. Look past those dark clouds so that you may fulfill your purpose in this life.

The case of Leonard Peltier

Leonard Peltier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Leonard Peltier (born September 12, 1944) is a Native American activist and member of the American Indian Movement. In 1977 he was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive terms of life imprisonment for murdering two FBI Agents who died during a 1975 shoot-out on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. There has been considerable debate over Peltier’s guilt and the fairness of his trial. Some supporters and organizations, including Amnesty International, consider him to be a political prisoner.[1] Numerous appeals have been filed on his behalf; however, none has been ruled in his favor. Peltier is currently incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
