Little thought for the day.

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage?

A father takes his son into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.

The young man is required to sit on a stump the whole night and he is not to

remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it..

He is not allowed to move or cry out for help. Once he survives the night,

he is a MAN.

He cannot share his experience with the other boys, because they must come

into manhood on their own.

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts

must surely be all around him. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook

his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be

the only way he could become a man!

Finally, after a terrifying night the sun appeared and he removed his

blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump

next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from

harm.
