so the hikes i do are generally about an hour. i take a group of people out into the rainforest and talk to them about the nature around them. but, before i can just take these people out & tell them about what they are looking @ i need to write a program & make an outline of what i will be saying to them. for this outline, its is necessary to have a theme. yes, a theme. remember when writing papers for school and ya had to have that topic sentence? well, that's what i have to come up with for my talks.
in the past 2 days ive been working at writing another hike. i have all my information, the plants, cultural stories, and ideas of what to say. all the information is right on and my sources are credible. But, i have to come up with a theme statement that ties all this information together. one sentence to write that will allow my mind to keep tying all what i speak about to a central theme.
then, after work, i was sitting here at my computer and wondered what is the theme for my life? what one sentence could i sum up my whole life, so that if i'd say this sentence, this theme statement, that i'd be continually drawn back to it. that everyting i'd do & say would be a reflection of this statement. hummm. now ive got to get thinking.
a theme for my life. if i had it, then i'd be able to bounce anything i do off this theme, and if it made sense then i'd do it. otherwise if it did not coincide with the theme, then i'd better not do it.
hummmm.....

yea, it reminds me of what I read recently and has come up different times in recent years. That being developing a mission statement as a family or individual.....so helpful in decision making and choices that we make constantly. I/we have yet to write that out and keep it before us.
Thank you Neal!
