In the angst of our souls, angels battle each other creating our demons…across endless planes of existence, we wrestle each of these beasts…sometimes we win : sometimes we lose. We always struggle in this domain – a fate of our own creation…both literal and figuratively…it’s where we drift. I can hear the devils tone in the echoes of these battles…the essence of everything cruel and unforgiving…raging in the background – relentless in its desire to take hold of my being. I am unfazed though by its unyielding push…I pass unencumbered through its wake and force – parting my own seas and stepping through it all…comfortable and confident in my own assuredness – purposeful in will and choice – happy, free and peaceful.

About Lawrence Lewis
I do a number of things professionally...but most of all and the true purpose of what I do through "my work" is to provide for my family, be a good husband and great father, and try to make a difference as a world citizen...I guess it's not much more complicated than that 🙂
Good Morning Lawrence: first cup of coffee..the morning starts and I read your article. enjoyed it…made a great deal of sense and is consistent with the teachings of the old people…the eminent Dr. Samuel Sam a recipient of the Order of Canada taught me that what you are speaking about is called Galaan (perhaps pronounced differently by others)and represents all of those things that we are challenged by….or those darknesses that has waited in families to continue to challenge. this is of course why the sulalewh/elders reinforce teachings, repeat teachings and open and close their sessions with prayer to push back those things. have a great great morning!
Thank you dear friend…you always bring added clarity!!! Have a great day as well!
