For One Brief Shining Moment.....

As is my tradition at this time of year...I just watched
"Camelot"...the musical. I watch this movie at Christmas
time because it always has a way of taking me back to myself
and helping me to remember what is important to me as I live
my life.

Watching it this time I couldn't help but think of *us*....that
group of people they call Xenites. I tried to image what the Xenaverse would be like 1 year from now....5 years from now...
or if it would even still exist. I hope so.

So what follows are words spoken by King Arthur. Words that
touch me everytime I hear them. Words that seem appropriate
for us as Xenites...during this time of change and transition.

One thing King Arthur did have was Vision and Faith. Let's keep
up both...in regards to our own beloved Xenaverse.

"Each evening from December to December...
Before you drift asleep upon your cot...
Think back.....on ALL the tales you remember,
Of CAMELOT...

Ask every person if he's heard the story...
And tell it Strong and Clear if he has not...
That once there was a fleeting whisp of glory,
Called CAMELOT...

Camelot!....CAMELOT!!!
Now say it out loud with Love and Joy!!

Camelot!!

Yes, Camelot...my boy...

Where once it never rained till after sundown...
By 8:00 a.m. the morning fog had flown...
Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot...
For one brief shining moment...
That was known...as....

CAMELOT!!!..."

**********************************************

"What we did will be remembered....you'll see."

**********************************************

So my fellow Xenites....Look to the Future!!!...

"By God, I shall be king!!

This is the time of King Arthur..
When we shall REACH FOR THE STARS!!!!

This is the time of King Arthur...when
Violence is NOT Strength and...
Compassion is NOT Weakness.

WE ARE CIVILIZED!!! RESOLVED!!!

We SHALL live through this together!!

Excalibur...They(Universal)*g*...YOU...and I.

And may God have mercy on us ALL!!..."
