Cheryl mentioned an Indian proverb... That reminded me of a true story where an "educated man" taught an American Indian how to read and write. The Indian was astonished how marks on paper turned into words in his mouth. I think his surprise is what allowed him to learn the process in just a few days! He took more than an odd story back to his camp. He was able to "demonstrate" it to a small group of his friends. They felt the same excitement in the value of what they learned, so they split up to spread the method to new groups. The entire tribe was able to read and write within 2 short weeks. What they knew as "the talking leaves" may have been easy to master because they lived in such a simple way. Are we so complicated that we can't to do the same? What might happen to our portfolios if we set aside just the right part of our individuality to allow the remaining part to operate in the harmony of a group. What strength and good results might be found? Is SI confusing us because of the way it is set up? Are we good enough to transcend the experience it gives us "through the use of simplicity"? Question -"Can less = more??" Answer -As easy as quoting "123"... "Our turn to shine is just around the corner-- you can count on that." Simply by taking the care Wayne is talking about... ....Are there any Indians out there:: Dave
