My mind tells me to give in and conform as this will ease my burning desire to flee this scene.
To be your own person in this day is to be ostracized for your beliefs. Undercurrents of fear are constantly pulling me and drain me of the energy that I normally devote to healing and prayer. I do not pray to fix things.
I pray when Spirit is reflected in my life.
I pray to show gratitude and love for my micro-place in this macro-ONE.

How did I get here ? It is of my doing.
Taking responsibility for the march towards a world where the illusions are so real yet so blasphemous, I see my place in this mess. It is our nature.
HUMANS ARE MESSY.

For the first 32 years of my life, I believed that if I did things 'correctly' then ALL would be good. Neglecting to take into account the fact that THERE IS NO CORRECT WAY was where I strayed from
the truth.

For instance....the carnage for oil.
(How many Human lives per gallon?) Do I drive a car ? Yes.
It's ironic that most of my discussions on the war take place in a vehicle, barreling down the asphalt at 60 miles an hour, guzzling gas and spewing exhaust.
WHAT A HIPOCRIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not only me, but that is where I'll begin my work.
We could live our lives with LESS. Yet, we constantly seek MORE. What is with US?

Still, knowing my connection to ALL THAT IS,
I offer these words of wisdom.
Big Daddy is watching, yet preoccupied with his own agenda, which will eventually affect us. Connect handouts with pacifiers, tax cuts with bandaids, war with a temper tantrum, wanting more with lack of love, and our lives with that of a child's.
We can play and enjoy life.
We can slow down and be at peace within ourselves.
We can show and tell the people in our lives that they are loved and appreciated.
We can spend time JUST BEING.
This would relieve much of the angst we feel and reduce our intake of bloody resources.
Be Peace.
