The Great Spirit: A Short Story

About three years ago my family and I were staying in downtown Seattle and decided to hit up Vons 1000 Spirits happy hour. We were enjoying some cocktails when suddenly my dad exclaimed "is what I think's happening, actually happening?". We all whipped our heads to the window next to us to see what he was looking at. There was a building next door, probably 50 feet away, that I believe contains businesses and condos. There against the railing, outside of the buildings main entrance, is a well dressed couple just going to town. He had this woman bent over the railing and was just nailing her. Now it's 5pm in the summer so it's bright daylight out and from our view we can see everything. Not to mention this is a busy building and people were

She ''pulled on her leather work gloves as she walked outside to change the racks of honey in her beehives and to check for signs of disease'' (Hogan, Mean Spirit 45). Furthermore, Belle became sick and tired of oil drillers because '' '[T]hey burn the poor birds out of the sky' '' (Hogan, Mean Spirit 76). Belle's great connection with the natural world is explored in her extreme resistance of the oppression of nature; she fiercely attacked the eagle white hunters who used to hunt eagles and send them to the city to be sold as souvenirs.

This weekend, I did not follow any rules of what a normal weekend should be like, instead I broke away and stayed in the blissful comfort of my home. I woke up Saturday morning and decided that I don’t have to go run today, I can go shopping next weekend, and I don’t really need to go see anyone. So I completely put off my “Spirit Week” shopping, and I completely avoided working out. So, I sat in my bed that morning and soaked up the sunshine glimmering through my window, and I listened to the soft chirping of the birds outside. As I laid on a mountain of pillows I started to think. Weekends aren’t what they used to be. Why should I have to leave this peaceful place to rush around and get stuff done? I already spend the entire week going to

I completely agree with you! Society as a whole needs to stop being judgmental, but after reading The Spirit Catches You And You Fall down, it is obvious that the many people in the medical field do not have enough cultural compassion and therefore makes it difficult to properly treat patients whom are not of American customs. People seek out doctors for help so whenever doctors fail to comply it is reasonable to understand why certain people would rather not seek doctors in times of need. The book made it evident that doctors should be more understanding of cultures in order to sustain a mutual understanding with patients.

The video titled “Spirit at Work: Sidd Bobb explicitly mentions that spirituality allows for the entirety of the human person (both their identity and history) into practice and incorporate it in a positive way. Sid Bobb further states that one’s spirituality should be used for the betterment of the earth, where one should strive to do no harm. Another explicitly poignant statement made in the video “Spirituality,” wherein the German Students state that spirituality involves believing in something without any scientific proof validating that belief. This also implies that the only truths worth believing in are those truths, which have been scientifically proven. The explicit factor that speaks to my own sense of spirituality is the need to

100 years ago there were only a few, 50 years ago there was a couple 100, now it’s 2027 there’s 100,000 of us, walking on Earth as we speak. The “us” I’m talking about is Spirit Seekers. Spirit Seekers are people who have a genetic ability to see people’s true color, their spirit. When we see people’s spirit, we see shades and tints of colors, the darker a color the more in trouble the person is. You may think we’re crazy, we may be, but we can see your monsters and demons you’ve faced. We see the real you. We take an oath to never share anyone’s secret and even we break that oath we’re banished to the center of the Earth, with our ability stripped. The catch with all of this because there is always a catch is we don’t have emotion.

Spirit’s Account Receivables that are older than 120 days is very high (43.18% of total number of receivables). This high percentage of very old Account Receivables could mean that Spirit may not be able to collect most of these amounts. A closer of look at these receivables will be necessary, because this a big red flag. We would want to know more about why there is such a large amount of Account Receivables that are older than 120 days. It could be that Spirit’s collection efforts are not adequate enough to collect receivables in a timely manner. Other factors could also be the cause or a combination of issues.

The mornings in our tribe have always been the most peaceful part of the day, therefore the moment I opened my eyes and heard the commotion coming from outside, I knew something was off. I prepare for the anticipated attack by grabbing the weapon closest to me, I believe today is the day our enemy tribe has chosen to cause an onslaught; the day I've been preparing for since the day I was born. I step out, ready to fight, but I see nothing else than a crowd of people violently whispering to themselves. I don't care to drop my weapon, but rush to the area of interest. As I get closer, I not only see a vibrant white, but I hear a tongue that sparks my interest as it has sure caught the attention of many others. I push past my people and without realizing what I did, I find myself standing in front of what I can only describe as a god. The looks of this man/creature scare me, for I have never in my 17 years of life, seen anything like him. White skin, short hair,
