Worth a second look: "Why is earth’s environment in peril? Because people have not understood their moral responsibility to protect it. Why is our democracy in peril? Because people have not understood their responsibility as citizens to put values of democracy over the values of the marketplace. And why is the pandemic still raging? Because people have not understood their responsibility to themselves and others to behave in ways that would have gotten it under control much earlier. All the problems of the world have emanated from something that went awry within us. Our failure to understand who we are, why we are here, and our moral responsibility to people and planet is the source of every problem in the world." Amen
You are gift! Thank you for your thoughts! I have been struggling this year ( more than others ) with the commercialism and media spin! I will focus this year on being a light to all I encounter! I will focus on gratitude and giving from the heart ❤️! Amen 🙏
Thank you for guiding us to set intentions for this holy time of year. It is so easy to kept swept away and not be present to the possibility of the miracle . Blessings to you and your family . Happy Chanukkah! 🙏💜
Amen to all this wonderfulness!! As always, in reading your eloquent words, there is a sense of peace. Sending blessings and DEEP appreciation from Arizona :)
Yes on that note I would like to say that so many are having difficultly with family and friends now due to the media's polarized world view. Especially politically with the opposition 2 party system( that I feel is a bit of a govt divide and conquer construct) and with the media's daily amplifying of fear " covid2019". This season just bringing peace to a family/ friends gathering is a way of bringing light into the world.
The solution to being in peace with people that have opposing beliefs is to be in peace yourself.
When you identify with a set of beliefs and encounter someone with opposing thoughts what happens is you feel like you are being threatened.
You have identified yourself as the thoughts and the attack of them feels like its attacking you( and that is ego).
You have to understand that peoples opinions are not who they are,it is just their conditioning . Human beings are more than the sum of what they think( or their conditioned mind).
You have to not feel like you have to verbally attack others in order to defend your thoughts/beliefs. The truth does not ever require this, debate and discussion has long been missing in many fields. Many people today cannot even hold two opposing ideas in their mind.
You have to really feel the love you feel for family and friends, practice breath awareness, as this can help ground you.
If you are intolerant and not open to or ready to listen to opposing beliefs without reacting with negativity ( fear/anger ) then just say to your family/friends that have a different opinion ” My love I am afraid I will get lost in ( taken over by ) neg emotion if we talk about (fill in gap -media meme) so can we not discuss it until I am more grounded in presence.” Then go and meditate.
I just read the daily meditation and then this piece. I'm grateful you are producing this for our enjoyment and understanding.
Just beforehand I was wondering about the sentience of the Earth and my relationship with her. I dream of being a part of healing the Earth which seems like it will take miracles.
I hear you saying miracles are more than possible, but part of how things naturally operate. Good.
I pray for this understanding to expand. May the Universe have its way.
I would love for you to expand on your comment: "And why is the pandemic still raging? Because people have not understood their responsibility to themselves and others to behave in ways that would have gotten it under control much earlier." I ask because this is a bioweapon designed to kill. The vaccine has not changed infection or transmission rates. People obediently observed lockdowns. Masks, other than N95's are basically ineffective. I would love to hear your comments! Happy Hanukkah.

This is one beautifully written piece and a miracle on the page. God bless you for sharing your gift with us.

A profound thank you! Blessings!
Beautiful. Thank you, Maianne.
I really appreciate this message, so amazing. The holidays are about so much more than boosting store profits.
