On Faith We Fly

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTRIGUED BY AN OASIS. IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY HOT DESERT AN ISOLATED AREA OF VEGITATION SURROUNDED BY A BEAUTIFUL SPRING PICTURES A GARDEN OF PARADISE. THIS OASIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS SO THAT THEY CAN REPLINISH THEIR WATER SUPPLIES AS THEY GO ABOUT THEIR JOURNIES. A SOURCE OF LIFE FOR MIGRATING BIRDS. IMAGINE CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER FORMED BY AN UNDERGROUND RIVER IN THE MIDDLE OF SOME OF THE HOTTEST PLACES ON EARTH WITH PALM TREES IN THE COOL SHADE. TO THIS I BELIEVE THAT EVERY PERSON HAS THEIR OWN OASIS WITHIN THEMSELFS. SOMETIMES WE JUST HAVE TO FIND IT. A PLACE THAT IS SO WAY OUT THERE THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO MAKE THAT JOURNEY BCEAUSE IT IS EITHER TOO HARD TO GET TO OR THEY DON'T BELIEVE ITS WORTH THE EFFORT. I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN THAT PLACE OF BEAUTY. WHERE THE PUREST WATERS ARE SURROUNDED BY SHADES OF GREEN AND WHERE THIS PLACE IS AS IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE ELSE AS IT IS TO ME. WHERE THE UNDERGROUND RIVERS WITHIN US RISE UP TO MEET THE TASKS AT HAND. I HAVE SEEN THE WELL PAVED PATHS THAT HAVE LED TO PROMISED PALACES BUT I WOULD RATHER TAKE THE WINDY DUNES OF THE SAND TO MY AWAITING OASIS. Kenny Lord
