In honor of the opening of this final Kwanzaa celebration of this decade, I dig into the archives of the study guide designed for the Temple of Applied Theosophy and search out this selection on the opening principle of this festival of first fruits. I rededicate and redouble my efforts to be in tune with the work and the workers that shall form the new world and the new way for our people this day. – tekhen djehuti
