Description:	1^BrotherhoodA group of people walk down a paththrough a forest. Some in the group areloud, some quiet. It is not clear who doeswhat, as all behave differently at times.The group is only a group in the sensethat they all share the same path.The forest itself changes, not changingwith the group but independently of it.Sometimes it is hot, dry, and bright.Sometimes it is cool, quiet, and dim. Thegroup reacts to the forest.The group keeps walking down thepath, a very well worn path with the footprints of many others already on it. Astime passes, the group becomes morerestless. Rounding a turn, the group seesthat the trail ahead leads into a hugeJesse Palmermeadow.Excitement grows as the group nearsthe opening. What will be in the meadow?Will the trail lead back into the forestagain? No one can know until they getout into the open and can see themeadow as a whole.Finally the group enters the meadow. Itis very large, surrounded by tall trees.Some parts of the meadow are coveredwith soft grass; other parts are marked byrocks and thorn bushes.The group is tired from its long walk inthe forest but also anxious to explore themeadow. Some find that they can explorethe meadow and rest at the same time.There are many choices of smallerKendall Reevespaths leading off from the meadow backinto the forest. One can leave the forestfor awhile; but as time passes, one mustreenter it in a different way.The sun begins to set on the meadow;and the group, already spreadthroughout the meadow, ceases to be agroup. Two people there, four here, walkinto the less worn paths. The brotherhoodof a few hours past is fading.The sun has set, and the last to choosea path hurries befolte everything is consumed in darkness. A final thoughtflashes as the lone figure steps back ontothe pine needles. The world would be abetter place if people remembered a pastforced brotherhood.The LightStacee WilliamsThe darkness closes in,You struggle, and youfight, and you hope;And still,It is dark.The silence is deafening.What can you do?But lie down and sleepForever.But just as you begin thelong journey into thedark abyss,A light,a warm, glowing light,You feel it deep in your heart,and it wont let you go.It pulls,and pulls,and pulls you,Until you can resistno longer.Its warmth gives you strength.And soon you are running,longing,For the strength and brightnessof The Light.84 Creativity
