What a great comment, Rudenski!
Don't be embarassed about being in the limelight!!!
It brings up stuff, I know.
Once when I was a kid, at Camp Max Strauss,
a camp for the "underprivileged" so to speak
run by the Jewish Big Brothers, they would pick
four of the boys to get this Indian Feather.
It was a Special Award.
They had all these Contests that you would do
on a certain day. One of the contests was building
a fire and seeing who could burn the string first.
I go second in that contest.
I love contests.
I love competitive things that are fun and harmless.
Some of the boys got little Certificates for sports.
I never was any good at sports,
so it was nice to have my self-esteem uplifting with
the string burning.
Somehow, the counselors thought there was something
special about me.
I was singled out to get one of those feathers and be
the Big Indian of the South. It was a yellow feather.
We were all dressed as Indians with paint on our faces,
at least those of us who wanted to do this extra activity.
I felt so proud, but when I was in our cabin,
I heard the other boys saying,
"Why did he get that prize?"
I remember being under the covers crying to myself
and feeling really bad.
IT is amazing the feelings we each have that stop us from
being a Rising Sun, yet the World is so straving for Risings
SUNS and MOON.
We need to be our best. We are all given Talents.
We were Chosen, and we choose ourselves to be born in
this Time and Culture to help uplift all the others around the world
who haven't a chance in hell to rise up unless we plant our dreams.
So, Rise up there Rising Sun.
Claim your moment in the Sun.
Shout it from the rooftops.
You love Apple Cider Vinegar
and you want the whole world to know about it.
Your EG
