Sunset 12/24/2013, Sunrise 12/25/2013 on Daufuskie Island; SC
Merry Christmas
All!!
From Daufuskie
Island; SC
I set about this morning to get a
photograph of sunrise to share with the meditation. When I left at 5 am to trek across dirt roads
to the other side of the island, I intended to be back and have the meditation
posted by 8 am. Well, the golf cart I
was using had other ideas as it went dead about four miles away. However, I was able to plug in to an outlet
at a cabin along the way and get enough charge to return. Meanwhile, I was able to shoot a few more
photographs. The above photographs are
from Daufuskie Island, the first was the sunset last night from Bloody Point on
the west end of the island, and the sunrise is from the east end.
I appreciate all of you that have made the
transition to the blog. For those of you
unsure of what I am doing, I am setting about on a three year journey around
the perimeter of the United States. It
is a journey of faith that I have been nudged toward for the last year and a
half. I began a shake-down trip on
November 18th, and have been living on the road since. Many of those “God moments” have occurred
already, and I know that I am exactly where I am supposed to be doing exactly
what I am supposed to be doing. If you
want to follow the daily occurrences of the journey itself, and enjoy 4 or 5
photos from each day rather than the single one that I post here, please click
over to the journal at www.CaptureAmericaJournal.blogspot.com
.
I am posting articles on the weekends –
this weekend’s articles will be running in the Mount Pleasant SC newspaper,
which is my home base. The articles will
explain in detail what it is that I am doing, but to summarize I am looking to
raise funds to push a medical breakthrough through clinical trials that will be
a cure for epilepsy as well as provide relief for many other mental conditions,
including ADD, ADHD, Bi-Polar, stroke and traumatic brain injury.
For today, just know that on this
Christmas Day I am very grateful to those of you who have so loyally followed
the meditations for the last five years.
I am confident that by placing myself in the vulnerable position of living
on the road both the insights I gain and the photographs I take will be of an
even better quality than you have come to expect so far. But I cannot do this alone – I need your
help. You will notice a donate link on
this page – here is what I would like to propose to those of you who can contribute
to this effort.
When you click on the donate link, and
option to make your donation “recurring” will appear. Here is what I will do for those of you who
are able and willing to contribute to this effort.

The bulk of the money will be going to
start the foundation, which is named the “More for Less Foundation” and to help
the research clinic in Charleston get off the ground. Details on this will be in the articles that
are coming this weekend. Donations will
become tax-deductible this next year when the foundation is completed. I am relying on contributions to defray
expenses along the way as well – but my expenses are very low as I am camping
or staying with folks as I go.
I will be posting articles rather than
meditations on Saturdays and Sundays. On
Saturdays, the articles will be about “People Making a Difference” – written
about folks that I meet along the way that are walking their own spiritual
path. These articles are also being
printed in the Moultrie News in Mount Pleasant SC. The Sunday articles will be a bit of a mixed
bag – interesting people, places and things as the spirit may move me to
write. And of course the other five days
a week you will be receiving the meditations as I write them.
I look forward to having you along on the
trip with me – and thank you for your support thus far. I have some ideas I would like to implement
along the way – if I can get a decent HD video camera that will also record
decent audio, I will start posting 4 or 5 minute videos of sunrises, sunsets
and interesting places I encounter along the way.
Anyway, this is not the usual meditation,
but thank you for bearing with me. You
all are very dear to me, and I will do my best to deliver to you the true
essence of the things I encounter along the way.
My warmest
regards and wishes for a Merry Christmas.
David
