O'SENSEI HARRILL MEMORIAL |
|
|
Life together is life shared. Shared love, shared work, shared opportunities, shared leadership, and even shared initiative. In all things you have shared O'Sensei, you have given us love, life, and the Armor to survive. |

Ephesians 6:10-20 |
|
|
To be a man - is to posses the strength to love another, not the need to dominate over others. |
|
|
To be a man - is to experience the courage to accept another, not the compulsion to be an aggressor. |
|
|
To be a man - is to keep faith with human values in relationships, not to value oneself by position or possessions. |
|
|
To be a man - is to be free to give love and to be free to accept love in return. |

THE DRAGONFLY Once in a little pond, in the muddy water under a lily pad, there lived a little water beetle in a community of water beetles. They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond with few disturbances or interruptions. Once in a while sadness would come to the community when one of their fellow beetles would climb the stem of a lily pad and would never be seen again. They knew when this happened, their friend was dead- gone forever. Then one day, one little water beetle felt an irresistible urge to climb up that stem. However, he was determined that he would not leave forever. He would come back and tell his friends what he had found at the top. When he reached the top and climbed out of the water onto the surface of the lily pad, he was so tired, and the sun felt so warm that he decided he must take a nap. As he slept his body changed. When he woke up, he had turned into a beautiful blue-tailed dragonfly with broad wings and a slender body designed for flying. So fly he did! And as he soared, he saw the beauty of a whole new world and a far superior way of life to any he had known existed. Then he remembered his beetle friends and how by now they were thinking he was dead. He wanted to go back to tell them-explain to them he was now more alive than he had ever been before. His life had been fulfilled, not ended! But his new body would not go down into the water. He could not get back to tell his friends the good news. Then he understood that their time would come when they too would know what he now knew. So he raised his wings and flew off into his joyous new life! Author Unknown |
