Not knowing isn't a good enough reason for not doing. A hard beginning isn't a good enough reason for never starting. A long time away isn't a good enough reason not to come back. So I come back. To a blank page, a blinking cursor and the daunting task of capturing my fleeting thoughts of clarity and transmuting them into inspiring and empowering food for thought.
Let us no longer choose a false reality of fear, hopelessness, uncomfortableness, unhealthiness, and unhappiness when we deserve to be deeply and richly confident, hopeful, comfortable, healthy, and happy.
Joseph Wilhelm, a food activist from Germany, stated, "Americans are so easy to manipulate." We go where they tell us to go, we do what they tell us to do, we eat what they tell us to eat. We believe the barrage of lies they stream through the media into our homes and hearts. Sadly, we buy their lies with our money then complain that it's too expensive to buy organic food.
Alas, A three car garage isn't success. A marriage isn't a symbol of true love. A bank account does not reflect one's abundance. Life isn't meant to be compartmentalized and organized. Life is meant to be lived. Outrageously and courageously LIVED. Let us no longer be distracted by cubicles, inboxes, stagnant relationships, upgrades, downloads, and the illusion that happiness comes with a price tag.
If you're wondering what to do, look around you. There is no shortage of work. Our paradigm needs shifting, our environment needs cleaning, our relations need healing, our children need to be loved, our gardens to be tended, our rivers need to be protected.
Life itself is enough to satiate, quench, nourish, inspire, awaken, educate, and provide. I encourage you, I call to you, I beg you: begin to actively engage in the Life around you. Breathe deep, slow down, open up and let go. Participate in every moment with your utmost attention and energy. Engage yourself deeply and completely in what is unfolding around you. In this awake state of being, we are no longer susceptible to the false ideal of happiness, because we are in touch with the organic bliss that comes from being alive.We are not manipulated by the corporate machine, because we realize the importance of connectedness to ourselves, each other and Source. We are not driven by financial greed, because we understand that the Earth is naturally abundant and we are surrounded and supported by endless free energy.
The landscapes change, the temperature fluctuates, the faces diversify, one truth remains: it is time to wake up.
