So I truly believe
With every atom in the being of my body and all the energy of my soul
That the universe can manifest possibilities beyond our tiny grasp of understanding
If we just let it
If we open ourselves up to the possibilities
To the immeasurable amount of possibilities
And just believe
Open ourselves up to the real belief
That to me is true spirituality
The belief in God
The belief in our higher consciousness
The belief in things like miracles and manifesting and things outside our grasp
Outside our daily spectrum of seeing, knowing and understanding
**********************************
So what about famine in Somalia
While I do believe Mother Nature has a wrath which we can neither control well nor quite grasp
She has all the right to want us living cockroaches off of her
We treat the world overall no better than rats treat their own environment
Actually of all animals
We are probably the absolute worst
So much for evolution and being the "chosen ones"
If the fact that we kill each other and our own habitat isn't proof we're just base, moronic heathens
Grasping desperately for our souls to flourish once again
I'm not sure what does
But it's so hard for our souls to flourish in this world
It is almost set up for us to fail that deeply, all so important
Truly what life is about
Task
We were put
Like every other animal here
To flourish
To co-habitate with each other
And our environment
In a symbiotic way
Of mutual benefit
Really not complicated!!!!
And anyone that says so
Is just making excuses
There can always be in this world a win/win
Always.
And we (as sentient beings) have the capacity to help the universe
Make that happen
Or hinder that
You can
Chose your battlefield
Chose your opponent
Chose your strategy
Mark your territory if necessary
Suit up
And go forth
Or
You can shield yourself with the greatest shield of all
And yet be as vulnerable as a new born baby
When you go forth with love
*******
Soften your gaze to the world
Relax your entire body
Breath
Soak it all in
There is beauty in it
There is beauty in you
There is beauty in life
Give yourself to giving
To it all
Not taking
Giving
Giving what is needed
When is needed
Life wants you to play
_____
I have a hard time coming to terms with famines and
Wars
And with the evils that surround us
When I look at it through the eyes of love
I see the games
The stupid games
And it hurts my souls deeply
But fortunately God
Replenishes hope
And more importantly even
Replenishes love as needed
Indefinitely, unendingly
As much as one cares to draw
When you care to draw it
On tap 24/7
Thankfully
It's inside
But also outside
.................
Look
This isn't about letting yourself be hurt physically, mentally, spiritually.
It's about following your heart
Without judgement
And knowing that as long as you are doing no harm
Purposely
Willfully
Knowingly on any level
If you are doing everything you can
To bring compassion
Love
Acceptance into this world
And you are doing all you can
to see that in the world
To seek that
To forge that
In whatever way
Big or small that you can
Making allowances for our own inherently flawed humanity
Many, many, many allowances of compassion
Then?
I don't know
You must chose your own answer
I've chosen mine.
============
Mine is that that is indeed a life well lived
No matter what anyone else may say
I can live with myself with that
And that is after all
Who I seem to be right now ;)_
This bag of bones and this ever yearning spirit
I can live with this little slice of theater known as mortality
And make the best of it
Just make the absolute best of it
