Thank for your kind comments.
Passionat...Hey Liz,<br /><br />Thank for your kind comments.<br /><br />Passionate people walk a difficult walk - passionate to make a difference, easily misunderstood and more easily hurt than people realize since passionate people are often mistaken to be cocky, arrogant or over-confident.<br /><br />When this misunderstanding occurs, some people believe that passionate people need to be knocked down a peg or two because it is felt that they need to be "corrected".<br /><br />When this happens, everyone loses.<br /><br />What a blessing it is to be passionate about life and purpose! :-)<br /><br />Take care and create a great day, Liz!<br /><br />HarryHarry Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329922320940535781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-79815684754152472082009-10-14T15:52:18.593-06:002009-10-14T15:52:18.593-06:00As usual Harry - Nail hit squarely on the head.

I would be honored it you would translate it.<br /><br />We all face many similar challenges in life - it sometimes takes courage for us to step out and admit it and when we do ... others step forward as well as we realize we are not alone.<br /><br />Perhaps we could put the translated one up here as well, with links between the English and Spanish, and with your name credited as the translator.<br /><br />Take care, Robert, and thank you for your kind words.<br /><br />HarryHarry Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329922320940535781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-75611920678224802192009-10-14T11:47:10.322-06:002009-10-14T11:47:10.322-06:00Harry, dear friend, it seems your describing me to...Harry, dear friend, it seems your describing me to the core. I've re-read it several times, unbelieving in the fact that I've been wasting all my life trying to be someone else. Yet you in this post, seems to have x-rayed me. As Barry, since childhood I always felt different, alone and yet, always full of energy and drive.<br />I must ask you a favour: this post of yours is so power ful, so rich I would like to share it with my spanish friends. May I translate it into spanish, please? of course, always citing you, rest assured.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12722154310784475447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-43411153616978902242009-05-13T10:53:00.000-06:002009-05-13T10:53:00.000-06:00I like.

I felt humbly "at home", understanding the expression of the strengths and challenges. Within, I feel the most constructive of tornadoes and it has caused moments of real separation and "aloneness" since childhood. That which you express courses through me and has been bottled for a long time... with brief shining moments along the way... but my childhood was unbridled. I feel I am returning, tasting that which flows in and through me. Nothing I do is of me, but the blessing of those moments of authenticity makes me feel grateful beyond words. I feel that my "war" is making itself manifest as these days unfold. Tonight another inexplicably engaging session with neighbourhood community leaders and discussions around youth... finding myself driving towards an expression of my capacities in the arts and more... to engage real communities... a community "activant". <br /><br />Thank you for this blog Harry. It was a moment of added and unexplainable clarity. <br /><br />Hi, my name is Barry and I am a passionate person, loving the sacred and in service to the only true Force that has ever existed.<br /><br />Finally Harry, your blog inspired me to send out a message to my colleagues in our local speakers' association (www.nlaps.ca). That message went as follows.<br /><br />"Friends, I will try to keep this short and simple, and sweet! These past few weeks have been an absolute sacred awakening for me. I am changing my website and all materials to reflect the authenticity. Much of this has come from discussions with Toni Newman and Harry Tucker, in prayer and meditation and the deepest reflection. Increasingly, I am having shining moments of clarity working with ideas and issues impacting youth and community development... my "market" and audience is all about community, all about it. More details to follow, but I positively challenge any and all of us to ask several major questions.<br /><br /> * What is it that I do?<br /> * What talents and capacities immerse me and make me lose all sense of time?<br /> * What audiences do I most feel passion, empathy and love for... in service?<br /> * How can I make the marriage of capacities and need a place where I can live and make a living?<br /> * What do I want to be known for 1 year, 3 years, 5 years down the road?<br /><br /><br />Of course, these must be answered with unbridled honesty.<br /><br />I pray you reach for your heart, and there you will find the stars.<br /><br />Love and friendship, and I will share more as it unfolds."<br /><br />Harry, I thank you for your audacity and inspiration. This singular soul is reconnecting with purpose and who I serve because of your challenges. God bless you, my friend.<br /><br />Peace.<br /><br />Barry<br />www.barrylgreen.comBarry L.
