Desiring to supercede would speak more to the weaker part of our being. If we seek to raise and encourage, our true strength becomes realized. When we join our lights the path becomes illuminated.

Rick, I must agree. I am a non-bias person when it comes to gender. Power falls where power may but only the rightful mind will not be destroyed within. Well illuminated by your statement. I must agree. Smile... Verlena
