Dauphin Island is getting a good wind right now, much more than a breeze, but not a gale \u2013 pure, positive, refreshing energy.<\/p>\n

A good wind is just one of the many positive energies in life. Atoms spin, waters spin, the Earth spins, and we spin. Dreaming, dancing, sharing, enjoying, forgiving \u2013 fully believing in and expressing our beauty \u2013 spinning \u2013 revolving \u2013 revolutionizing \u2013 loving without end for the benefit of all. What a wind! What clean, positive, refreshing energy!<\/p>\n

Positive energy is all around us, a revolution always in the making, never letting go of us. Francis of Assisi, a great friend of animals and a great believer in positive energy, dedicated himself to this revolution of love with these words:<\/p>\n

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
\nWhere there is hatred, let me sow love;
\nwhere there is injury, pardon;
\nwhere there is doubt, faith;
\nwhere there is despair, hope;
\nwhere there is darkness, light;
\nwhere there is sadness, joy;<\/p>\n

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
\nto be understood as to understand;
\nto be loved as to love.<\/p>\n

For it is in giving that we receive;
\nit is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
\nand it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.<\/p>\n

Let the positive energy in each of us find expression in our own words, voice, and life. Let the wind blow where it will.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
