VISION QUEST: CREATING A LIFE FROM SPIRIT
Speech: “All the world’s a stage”
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
(from As You Like It, spoken by Jaques)
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.“
[Written to be spoken.]
Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
WAITING IS NECESSARY. IT TAKES TIME TO PROOF THE YEAST
How to Proof Your Yeast
Proofing yeast is basically just ensuring that your yeast is alive and still eating, which is actually easy to observe with your eyes. No special tests are needed, you just need to basically create an environment in which yeast is typically prone to start working, and see whether it does or not. Yeast likes warm environments, but too hot will kill them. The environment should also be moist and full of yummy sugars to be the ideal environment for yeast to start showing you what they’ve got.
Step 1: Mix the Yeast and Water
- Take a small amount of the yeast, and measure out the appropriate amount of water. Mix the two together, then heat the water to about 80°F.
Step 2: Add Some Sugar and Wait
- Add a little bit of sugar for a little yeast feast, and wait. The yeast should start eating the sugars, in which case you will start to see bubbles from the carbon dioxide that is forming. This process typically takes about 5-10 minutes.
- Wait it Out. Be patient, and let the mixture stand for 5-10 minutes (this was always my big mistake—not letting it sit).

2 Eagle/MEN (Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI)
Galactic Tone 2: Mysterious as the question ‘to be or not to be?” Two is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Yin/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number.
Eagle/MEN: Intermediary between Heaven and Earth. Due to the Eagles superior point of view and keen intelligence, they achieve material abundance and good fortune. A messenger gifted with patience and a deep sense of value, Eagle brings hope and trust on the wings of Spirit. Eagle persons are very detail oriented and technically inclined. Compassionate service to others sustains prosperity for Eagle personas as the flapping of wings would sustain their bird brothers. If Eagle becomes viciously competitive or possessive, greed and jealousy cause a fall from the heights. Eagles, being blessed with freedom of movement, should be aware of escapism. Eagles may be tempted to just fly away from troubles by using indulgences.
Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI: Eagle’s symbol is Mars the Spirit Warrior. He is a minion of Grandfather Moon. Eagles were the warrior society, the braves the protectors of the nation. Women were included. There was no discrimination which is reflected in the language: third person singular is divided into animate, human and animate, not human instead of he and she. The energy of high hopes and anticipations, dreams and visions, cosmic consciousness and commitment. On earth, a provider of excellence, leader, husbandry, care-taking of others, financial security and inheritance.
