Finding Our Tribe

"This is the hardest time to live, but it is also the greatest honor to be alive now, and to be allowed to see this time.  There is no other time like now.  We should be thankful, for creation did not make weak spirits to live during this time.  The old ones say 'this is the time when the strongest spirits will live through and those who are empty shells, those who have lost the connection will not survive.'   We have become masters of survival -- we will survive -- it is our prophecy to do so."
