A head of a tribe has
realized that the end of his reign is approaching. In need of a successor he summoned his three
sons. “Each of you,” he began, “Bring me
an object of great value. The one who
returns with the best gift will get my blessing and the mantle of leadership.”
The first son returned with a
beautiful flower radiating vibrant color.
The second son came back with
gleaming stones.
The third returned
empty-handed. He said, “I come back with
a vision of a place. It is near a river
with many fish. The land is green and
fertile. It is ripe for living,”
The father gave him title to
the last son because he had the vision to lead his people.
This what our world needs
more; people who can see what others cannot.
Everyone has this potential. Everyone.
