Philosophers, debutantes!
Farmers, sailors!
Artists, typists, and retail associates!
All have flocked to the cause!
All have sung songs of victory, thoughtful and proud!
But listen:
Can you feel the earth sway and tilt beneath your feet?
The coming twilight season beckons.
As the ice cream stands fold up shop and the snowbirds prepare for their inexorable journey south, what most becomes a revolutionary?
Resistance? Persistence? Snowshoes?
What will you do now?

What will I do now? Indeed a question for this age.
The world needs to hear your message much louder… where can we learn more… hear more… engage in conversation and start to feel wonderful ideas come to life? The earth is tilting beneath my feet and I’m off balance.
CLA…. will you come out and play?
We need you now more than ever……

The cold is bitter but my heart is still burning with the mission to bring to all the call to knowledge, consideration and self-exploration. It is not always easy. I leave some closed minds in my wake but this is…war!!!! An army like ours must be ready to accept losses. Losses of those not ready to open up but I soldier on for you. For all of us!!! Long Live The Revolution!!!! Anyone a Calgary Flames fan?

I poke my head out…I see my own shadow! A deep breath and a feeling of renewed energy and excitement as the mission continues, but with a smile only the first burst of sun can bring. I have taken it to the streets, reaching out to those who need the love and need the word of the CLA. Now, I an re-invigorated, in high gear. Wake up, everyone!! Those who we touched need a reminder and those left, we will reach with our message of consideration understanding and awareness!!! Long live the CLA!!!!!! Rob from Chilliwack-out!!!!
