I’m overwhelmed by the state of the world. Some day’s I can barely function. Some day’s it seems we’ve all gone mad, for what human lives to hurt another human and what human can’t feel compassion. I’m pretty sure you feel in some way akin to how I feel. I sense you sense our mutual acknowledgement.
Yet, in it all, in our evolutionary transformation, if we so choose to make it, lives the greatest possibility—a world of one.
The soundtrack of our lives plays over and over again. Life must go on. Though to choose so in the same groove on the same record would make such an evolution incomplete.
Many are saying at this time, the same word, this one word.
ENOUGH.
Enough of the senseless targeting of people labeled “not one of us.”
Enough of the demonizing of groups of people for no other reason but to stay in power.
Enough of the withholding of a good and equal education that offers a chance at an honest living.
Enough of the prayers without action to ease suffering.
Enough of the lies and conspiracies and denial so deep that people walk like zombies through malls and drive like post apocalyptic warriors of which they know nothing about.
I’m overwhelmed by the state of the world. But I’ve not given in nor given up. This is our time to make things right. It is our calling.
If you have a Faith, call upon it. If you have a God, call upon them. If you have a higher education or a spiritual motivation—call upon them. And if you call them and find no answer, perhaps we need dig deeper into the complexity of life, for surely any God, Path or Prophet would not deny a world compassion.
Wake dear children, not to the call of the sycophant but to the ties that lift us. Wake to the woven tapestry of wisdom spoken since the dawn of time. In all languages, in all religions, in all tribes and in all species, our calling has always been love in action.
In this power you shall stand, eye to eye and cheek to cheek with those who might oppose you. Fear not.
You may feel threatened by those who’d have but money in their pockets. Fear not.
Your wealth is beyond this realm.
Speak the truth. Walk beside that truth in practical sense. That means we must do what’s right and good for the good and rightness of all people. It means we must all vote and helps our neighbors to vote. It means we must point out hatred and denounce it. It means we must practice forgiveness and find gratitude for that act. It means we must sever greed and embrace humility.
I’m overwhelmed by the state of the world.
Forgive it too.
I see possibility.
Embrace it.
