EXPRESS TRAIN OF HIDDEN FLAME

EXPRESS TRAIN OF HIDDEN FLAME



Greetings...

Currently your spirit resides on the ethereal plane…

This is fine, because that is where you will find the Express Train of Hidden Flame… It has my name on it--I call it the Phoenix, and you are welcome to board; you only need leave your own name with the advocate of the train, who requests that you leave your inhibitions and prejudice outside in the station… If you find any treasures while on board the train, feel free to share with someone who cares for you...

I hope that you enjoy my work… Timothy Goodwin aka; Earle Blessing…

Your kindness and grace I will humbly embrace…*~T~*

And for all you midnight riders and fliers...I offer you the Darkness and the stars...and...if you want to read something that will chill your bones, I give you "Darkness Within" and "Darkness Beyond"...It's alright if they give you a fright; you can always cuddle with friend. Nearly a paradigm of horror, which is a tall order, but then I will leave you to decide their integrity and merit...*~T~*


And for all you who inspired positive imagery--those that stood by me in the sunshine and rain--that brought your smiles that saw me through heartache and pain, to me you will always be the Salt of the Earth
--The very Best faithfully...
Your kindness and grace I will always embrace...*~T~*

A SIMPLE COMPLIMENT...

A simple compliment to all the artists, writers, philosophers, and others that have reached me with their craft, their heart, and their art; you are the music in my song, and have colored my world with your magic. I hope that in some way I have done the same for you, that you have done for me, as you have made me a little richer from having crossed your path. May others see your work and perceive it with the same majesty that I have, and in turn, make the world a better place for it…

Yours Truly,

Timothy Goodwin AKA Earle Blessing

Timothy has proposed a unique solution to a problem that has become a pandemic in our communities and cities. His dream is not an ethereal one, but one that is grounded in reality and has clearly defined parameters and goals. Those who, for whatever reason, have been reduced to poverty would be enabled to crawl out of that hole, which must seem to many like an abyss of despair...and make their way to "Illumination House," where they can find not only a temporary haven but a place where they will discover ways to rouse those sleeping Giants that lie within all of us. Through meaningful activities and optional religious services each man and woman can either awaken latent skills or create previously undiscovered ones -- skills that can be used to set them on their way to finding themselves; for, in finding themselves, they may become even better members of society than those who earned their degrees at some prestigious college or university.

MY SOLUTION FOR THE HOMELESS

Written by:

Timothy Goodwin

The project begins with the construction of the finest homeless shelter in the country—”Illumination House“-one that would be a model for a chain of homeless shelters across the nation. The construction of the shelter would involve those individuals who are already homeless but have skills of general laborers and/or contractors.

The project would be overseen by a contractor who would have a supervisor to see to the operation and organization of the laborers. Laborers would be paid the same wage as any other laborer with the same experience.

The shelter would consist of sixty rooms—much like a hotel, and like a hotel would have running water in each room. Fifty-five rooms would be used to house the homeless; the other five rooms would be for staff members and security. There would be a meeting hall—where people would meet once a week so that staff and homeless members could go over their daily progress that is conditioned to getting the homeless into homes of their own.

There would be an activity hall. A laundry facility; and each person would be given clean socks, underwear, and products for personal hygiene, once a week--as needed, along with a gratuity check of $25.00 every week.

There would be a kitchen and dining facility. And there would be a chapel—however, those that are to be brought in to speak, would first be evaluated by the Director to determine if the message is going to be encouraging, or discouraging to those homeless members. I lean more toward the Unitarian Universalists, rather than the Fundamentalists; they would not be allowed to preach in the shelter—I don’t care how much fire and brimstone they use…

There would be work-programs available, and programs that teach Computer Jobs Training, Construction, Small Engine Repair, and Financing.

There would also be a program for people to encourage further education, and the opportunity to get GED.

The idea here is not to try and keep the shelter full, but to find ways to encourage those individuals that are homeless from breaking the cycle of their current condition, so as to allow others to do the same.

Those who enter the shelter would be recognized to be on a 90-day program—30 days of which would be probationary. If people are genuinely interested in getting back on their feet, they would have no problem with the program. Substance abuse of course would not be tolerated, and would be grounds for immediate eviction, as would be fighting, or carrying weapons.

Now I realize that some people are homeless because they choose to be. In which case "Illumination House" would not be for them; however there are those who are looking to break the homeless-cycle, and sometimes people just need a little direction and encouragement to do so; and this is what "Illumination House" is all about.

In a nutshell. My dream. My endeavor to alleviate the homeless situation....
