The Bible - talents and sheep


There are so many talented people in our islands. We are talented with our hands, voices and overall artistic insight. Noel Lloyd was one of the creative people who was stifled. Let it had been someone from the US or UK trying to share the knowledge - we would have jumped speedily to his bidding.

So it is here in our islands - we are the sheep of a careless shepherd - yes, the one who will not go for the 15th much less the 99th. My workplace may be surrounded by sheep, goats and cows but I refuse to be a sheep. I refuse to go mindlessly for slaughter. I like April Glasgow's choice of word - evolutionary. That is truly deep.

You may look at us and try to class us as Rastas or a cult. Really though, we revolutionary and evolutionary - our common goal is to move forward with UNITY for a stronger COMMUNITY - to take care of the resources and plan for the future so our grandchildren can learn from our example. It is no longer acceptable to just drag along accepting the mistakes of the past while letting them guide our future.

Talented people - the parable in the bible about the talents I think referred to actual talents. So please do not bury your talents. Use them to go forward to help yourself and your people. Be the sheep that cries for change and makes it happen.
