We
have a lot to do to heal ourselves and our Mother Earth, and
we'll never make it happen without facing what's real. Indigenous peoples, having always lived in oneness with the land, have known for tens of thousands of years what we need to learn now - how to live in harmony with our Earth and ALL her children.
Facing reality is often less fun than the happy things we would rather see. But I personally feel better, calmer, and more empowered choosing to face up to truths that were nagging at me for so long. We have complex issues to unwind, but to me, facing them squarely feels like I've grown up on some level. Simple pleasures of yesteryear may have a nostalgic allure, but the now moment is the only place of power for any of us, and for all of us.
I'm actually incredibly hopeful, we can be every bit as noble a species as we can be terrible. Working together, we can create a sustainable and inclusive world. We can love
each other, feel gratitude, reach out and support others, and do this not just in spite of reality, but because of it.
Of all the blessings in my life, YOU are the dearest one of all. Sometimes I just sit and marvel at the wondrous light you shine. Sometimes I cry happy tears of gratitude. You make my journey possible, but far beyond that, you make it SO JOYOUS. Thank you. Thank you.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and new year. May you, your beloved ones, and all, be blessed, now and forever. May all have peace and abundance.
Love,
