Come home to your heart.
It knows more than you think.
It’s a new world.
It is going to be what we make it.
We can all feel it. Society is shuddering under the weight of a new reality. Could it be happening for a reason?
We seek integration, wholeness, and to be at peace with ourselves and our world. We realize these things and experience growth by learning life’s sometimes unpleasant lessons so that we might remember who and what we are. To do this, we must have an open and accepting heart.
We ascend from the madness when we learn to accept ourselves fully, with all our seeming flaws and imperfections. Coherence is realized when we balance this acceptance with an inner knowing that, on a higher level, we are already perfect and complete.
We are slowly awakening, and as we wipe the sleep from our eyes, we become more aware of the present moment and all the beauty it holds. We then realize we are inseparable from that beauty; in fact, we are that beauty and are the creators of it as well. The singer and song are one.
We have a choice. It takes the same effort to create joy as misery, so we must ask ourselves- what do we want to create?
It is time to rise.
The world needs patience, compassionate wisdom, and just plain everyday kindness. It is so simple; the smallest gestures, the little things, how we talk to and acknowledge people, and how we treat others and ourselves matters. We are much more powerful than we realize, and our power can go either direction. It is our responsibility to be conscious of this and strive to elevate ourselves every moment of every day.
Being part of the human race can be messy and unpleasant, and growth is often painful; we see this now. I am not here to sugarcoat anything; it is going to get ugly, I am afraid.
Having spent 15 years in the emergency medical field, I approach humanity with cynical optimism. I know we are capable of incredible, beautiful things. But I also know we are more than capable of horrible, ugly things. Unfortunately, the latter seems to have outweighed the former for most of our history—this is an opportunity to change that.
