“It’s a wonderful -legislative, law unabiding, inconsistent- life /slash world” ..hashtag HopeForHumanity

When it comes to social media, I truly like seeing the family/friend updates, pictures, memories in the making, creative posts, funny jokes, personal heartfelt stories shared…but…

.. the amount of global tragedy intertwined is really disparaging. It leaves me wondering, a bit too often,  “What the hell is wrong with this world?” 

We all do our part to contribute to sharing our own perspectives, thoughts, and solutions. Some are brilliant and uplifting, to see people who are not bound by a narrow scope. The possibility people, the solution seekers. So I have to wonder again, Is that the hope? The people and the inspiring actions we hang onto when the overwhelming and overbearing plague, the lack of human conscience, is attacking the spirit of Mother Earth? Mother culture? Yes. It is one ray of hope.

Our eyes so subtly give us an example of the balance we seek. Open too long and we suffer. Closed too long and we slumber. We blink to balance. And if our visual sense can no longer function, we rely on the other senses, the unity within our body, to create that balance. We do not simply give up and die. 

If we look at our eyes as metaphor for the relationship we have with our own bodies to that of the world, and see the world through our own bodies, a clear picture of our contribution or lack thereof is quite apparent.  What are we thinking, saying, doing, or not thinking, not saying or not doing that contributes to the health of Mother Earth?  Not to say that health issues cannot strike no matter what. Like natural disasters, lightening strikes…accidents….things do happen outside of our control. The biggest lesson in that is not to allow ourselves to become bitter, but to control our responses, and our own actions.

We can end the unnecessary tragedy. We can restore the balance. It’s not about government laws, or pieces of paper. And it’s not going going to be easy either. 

Common goals have to be more than just making money, having “more”, or being “happy”. We must weave together the basic elemental fabric of what we need to exist. The purpose, values and way of life that will allow all people, in all walks of life, to thrive as one with Mother Earth.
