CHILD, ADOLESCENT & ADULT PSYCHIATRIST ing about that dear and sacred event of my childhood.

Page 8 è

This wonderfully mystical being walked right up to Grandpa and me, just a few feet away from us. The proud deer threw his head back, his antlers seeming to reach to the heavenly skies. The Ma jestic Buck then lowered his head and walked just one or two steps closer to Grandpa and me. Then this frightening, immensely proud and self-assured wild creature looked me straight in the eye. I remember inwardly shuttering. The Majestic Buck then threw his head back once again, as if to say good bye to Grandpa and I. I remember the proud deer then turned about and tot ted off into the distant forest. Grandpa simply said to me, “Dicky Jim, you’re a marked man.” I remember Grandpa’s voice was soft and reverent and solemn. For in that moment in time, something stirred within the deepest chambers of my heart.

In many ways, I think that God used the Majestic Book as an instrument to bless me. For I have been blessed be yond my wildest dreams. This cherished gift, on loan from God, of putting words down on paper has infinitely blessed me. It gave me a way to make a living. It blessed me with the golden opportunity to touch the hearts of other people. My dear friends, find your purpose. Find your sacred gift. Find your calling of God. Pour your heart, mind and soul into the very gift that God has loaned unto you. Find your unique purpose for this gift of life. Love one another. Forgive, forgive and forgive those who have done you wrong. Simply put, truly realize that the most powerful force on Planet Earth is to love one another. Richard Mabey Jr. is a freelance writer.
