If we want a new world, one that is safe and fair and abundant, we must create it.
If we want true freedom, true religion, and truthful society, we must work on that too.
If we desire clean water, clean food, and clean spaces to live, we must develop the methods by which that living is possible.
If we want a war-free life and a peaceable planet —rejoice in the words and actions that promote it.
Our life is the journey, the sacred pilgrimage, the Camino de Santiago. No matter where we live, a more meaningful view perhaps, is that life is a service to make possible, more fruitful, more balanced, more kind —the journey of all sentient beings, plant, animal, human, and more.
Happinesses come not from a frightened society but from a thriving one. A happy life isn't acquired by threats built on hate, nor aggression rising from fear, but in that which expands naturally from the value of care, concern, and compassion.
In deeper reverence, giving thanks include all. Gratitude is the fruit of our service and it can be felt and heard throughout the world like a stone tossed on a calm lake. Our truthful acknowledgement reverberates heart to heart, to heart, to heart…
So in harnessing hope as we move toward a new year, it should be hope and faith in humanity and in a living planet, already equipped with the healing mechanisms, organisms, and the biorhythms necessary that asks of us —only that which we are fully capable.
Listening.
If we want a war-free life and a peaceable planet —rejoice in the words and actions that promote it.
