I have to start writing. I can't keep these thoughts and feelings in any longer. Spending time thinking about how I can make a difference, how I can help the state of the world we are currently living in.
Conversations about what's happening, what's not happening. So much fear. Intense feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. I want to assist people in making a change. It all starts on the inside because when we don't feel right on the inside, absolutely nothing can happen on the outside.
We can listen to what is taking place on a global level, on a national level. Hearing these things doesn't do a bit of good if we can't take it in, understand, and feel enough energy to do something about it. We need gumption. We need the motivation to take action. Caring is not enough. Compassion comes naturally. The challenge lies in transforming our caring and compassion into a reality that can be seen and felt. Whatever we feel compassion for, whether it be the people, their rights, our earth, its natural process endangered, we need to focus on one thing and move towards advocating for that one thing.
We humans are easily overwhelmed by the big picture that deters us from living and accepting our moment to moment existence. Take one breath, feel your body, focus on your feet, stand firm where you are and choose one action. Just one.
One day at a time. Breath by breath. Stop responding with fear to the fear that created all of this mess in the first place. Ego does not know how to live in the present. It feeds on what could be. Greed stems from a mentality of scarcity. It feeds on wanting more and having more. Fear is the opposite of love which is what all of creation was born from. It tells us that power will make us stronger and less afraid. None of these things have anything to do with what is truth, what is infinite, what needs no explanation. We are enough. We have enough.
All living things continue their cycle- Live. Grow. Evolve. Die. Begin Again. What the fuck is all of this other nonsense about?
Oh yeah, control. Because if we think we can control, then we feel immortal. This calms our fear just enough to live another day pretending like all of this is actually real when the only meaning to it all is that we just be, breathe, exist, know, love, and be one with with all and everything.
