Arak - Talk Too Much
Communication is so important to finding Balance (physical, spiritual and emotional). We can get bogged down with the worry and fear. It’s taken be a long time to learn that the best defense against worry and fear is a little action. Instead worrying about something get up and do something different to take your mind off the worry. Get up and do something toward alleviating the fear. A little exercise will clear the head to think clearer.
Talk Too Much
“Wizard you talk too much…And act too little.” - Arak*
Bright-Sky-After-Storm, is the son of a Native American, Quontauka Princess and the Quontauka Thunder God, He-No. The Serpent tribe attacked the Quontauka tribe. He-No to protect his son set him adrift in a canoe on the sea. Bright-Sky-After-Storm was found by Vikings and was given the name Arak. Arak joins the Vikings on several adventures before they were beaten by a witch, Angelica and her sea monster. Arak avenges the Vikings. He then finds himself befriended by Carolus Magnus (Charlemagne) and his Knights. Arak adventures lead him to the past and future, to meet other heroes and to meet Valda, the woman he would have a relationship.
Arak has a good idea – stop talking and start doing! Today these words can take on two meanings. The first, get up and go get some exercise. Exercise is good for the body heart and soul. We find Balance (Physical, Emotional and Spiritual) in exercise. Secondly, we could use these words to give us courage to follow our Heart’s Desire. Your Heart’s Desire, Emmet Fox writes, “God Himself has whispered into your heart just that very wonderful thing, whatever it is, that He is wishing you to be, and to do, and to have. And that wonderful thing is nothing less than what is called Your Heart's Desire.” When we are following our Heart’s Desire everything we need is provided for without worry. So why do we sit around and talk about our Heart’s Desire? It is the fear and negativity in our lives that hold us back. Today get up stop talking and do something – Exercise or something toward the Heart’s Desire (or both).
