“There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is curiosity. There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is vanity. There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love.” – Bernard of Clairvaux
“A sacred respect for the constitutional law is the vital principle, the sustaining energy of a free government.” – Alexander Hamilton
It is too bad the DSA doesn’t realize this. In seeking to destroy the Constitution, they have pronounced themselves the enemies of the American way of life and as seekers of the destruction of our customs and traditions. After all, if you are not for the rule of law, have you not opened the floodgates to tyranny?
A Hero's Journey Begins, Part I
by Michael Doyle
Essentially, a hero is someone ordinary
Who is given the chance to be extraordinary.
Through whatever set of events or circumstance,
He or she has been given this dynamic chance.
It's about rising up to the opportunity
And meeting whatever opposition with capability.
Through whatever needed means that have arisen
The hero answers the call that has been given.
It's mostly about the choice not to fear,
To give the fight your best and persevere.
Heroes take their chunk of the universe
And read its villains chapter and verse.
Staring death in its cold, bitter eyes,
Unflinching as if refusing to even recognize
The possibility of facing tomorrow dead.
This is not the thought for a hero's head.
It is only to push forward in the fight,
The best of our heroes possess the light.
Joined against adversaries as the best.
Each who is a hero is ready for this test.
I once thought this might describe me.
But my life has passed with the possibility.
I am as most men, just a man doing my best.
As for anything more, God has done the rest.

Great Is the Lord
by Michael Doyle
Though the rains may fall,
I will hear and heed your call.
Through my darkest days,
I will always sing your praise.
Through all that Satan has done,
I will keep my eyes on the Son.
Whispering my love to your morning,
Whatever comes without warning.
When I hear just what I feel,
I turn to see, and know it's real.
Looking into the spirit of God's endless light,
He's taken an aspiration and turned it right.
The sins burn bright in eternal fire.
So it is with God's holy desire.
The winds blow through the trees,
And we pray as we are fallen on our knees.
It's never-ending as we turn to praise.
God's love falls on us to the end of days.
We learn the only way to love is to give.
This is the secret that every Christian lives.

From the Weeping Cradle
by Michael Doyle
Seeing you there on the mountain peak,
It takes away my ability to speak.
Which is more than something beautiful.
It becomes a conception a bit too wonderful.
The trails become empty circles of storied land.
Their beauty lost inside your held hand.
And me, I'm lost inside the vastness of your eyes
Like a lullaby I find hard to recognize.
From the weeping cradle, I've dreamed of your love.
Quietly on my own, I have prayed to God above.
All my faithlessness comes as a rite of wrongs
And your unknown love became my song of songs.
As I look back and reminisce,
What love has taught me was impermanence.
The twisted hand of fate teased at promise
Like shards of glass cutting through my common sense.
Living in the revelations of a painful past
Was only the certainty that love doesn't last.
The night had its wounds to continually bring
And I wrote it into songs I had yet to sing.
From the weeping cradle, I've dreamed of your love.
Quietly on my own, I have prayed to God above.
All my faithlessness comes as a rite of wrongs
And your unknown love became my song of songs.
Until in the discarded memories, I saw your face
And just as suddenly I felt the heaven of your grace.
You wave hello and are special in every way you can
And I became hungry to become your loving man.
There in your transcendent truth of dark and light,
I have found my hope in your day and night.
Only lovers find the love others yearn to seek
And there you were, standing like a summit peak.
From the weeping cradle, I've dreamed of your love.
Quietly on my own, I have prayed to God above.
AAll my faithlessness comes as a rite of wrongs
And your unknown love became my song of songs.

“One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him.” – Harry Allen Overstreet
