tonight, no matter what i have been occupied with - in my mind is a backdrop of sadness over the chaos that seems to be rampant in our world, right now...and i wonder how much control we could truly have over it if a great majority of people would commit to 'thinking' in the same direction..in a positive way and invoking healing for the planet and for us...a sort of collective 'prayer' if you will...a statement of intent...asking the world to heal....if we really COULD do that if we envision it already healed and thriving...and how would we get the majority of people to join in....it seems very complicated...a very HUGE task...
honestly, i think it would work..IF there was a way to gather so many citizens of the world to do so...
right now nashville is flooding...a twitter friend of mine who lives down there- a successful songwriter has been 'tweeting' about it today...i can feel her sadness at watching her town and home and neighbors lose everything they have....and what can i do for her? i can ask for healing for her and all those people...that is all.....last weekend someone sent a car bomb into times square with the intent of killing people as they were about their saturday nights- lining up for broadway shows- going out to dinner, innocent of any evil they might encounter...thank goodness the bomb did not go off....WHY would someone do that? i don't understand that 'kind' of anger...for people one does not know-for innocent people just trying to live their lives....what kind of 'statement' does someone think that makes?
in the last months....aside from our seemingly endless wars and the hatred that still goes on for others who are 'different' - who's beliefs are not understood ....earthquakes-horrible storms, tsunami's, murder, destruction, abuse....i just don't understand it all....and yet i must accept it as being the way things are and should be...i know this, intellectually...but in my heart it is hard to swallow...
and i also know in my heart we have ALL created this...ALL OF US...myself included, my friends, my family....and i know WE are the only one's who can change it...
if anyone else is interested in trying to stop this chaos...please let's toss around ideas on how we can gather many many people to 'think in the same direction'...i DO think we can stop it and we can each start with looking in the mirror each day and ask what we can do today to change this..to be more positive..not to focus on the negative, exchange anger for gratitude ..yes, to be more THANKFUL....we have SO much to be grateful for...if you are reading this you have much to be grateful for....as i do
