I Face You and You Must Face Me


These days we can no longer avoid the inescapable fact that we are part of a vast global community and must face the truth that, yes, we are indeed connected to one another. What I do or say will have an impact on someone else, negatively or positively. In this context I am responsible for you and you are responsible for me. Therefore, if I want to live a life that is peaceful and fulfilled, I must want that for everyone as well. And I must work towards that in whatever way I am able. No more sticking our heads in the sand. I face you, and you must face me head on.

I believe that we all are now being asked on a deeply subconscious level to let go of old, limiting beliefs that no longer serve us, and to instead move into a open place of enlightenment. Enlightenment right here on Planet Earth...doesn't that sound delightful?



I am not alone on an isolated island, I share this planet with each and every one of you. Therefore I must care for you. I must offer what I can to you, as you would to me. There are no borders or boundaries between us, except for what the mind has created, and those are illusory.

To become enlightened means making a conscious choice to be awake and aware: to life and love, to sadness and pain, to the breathing of each of us. Listen to each other and wake up.
Please?

Can We Love Right Now?


Re: Hurricane Katrina

In the midst of all of this devastation, desperation and horror, I'm asking myself, "Can I give of myself right now? And am I able to pray for someone else besides myself right here and right now?

"Can I find a way to love?"

I can and I will. And I know this for you, too.

Blessings.
