A little perspective.

I think most people would agree that there is much that we do not understand - that there are many mysteries still out there. When we take a look at where we are in our galaxy, much less the Universe, many tend to say that it makes them feel insignificant, small. For me, it gives me an immense gratitude to be a part of such expansiveness. I am not separate from the billions plus of galaxies and gazillions of stars. I am interconnected. We all are.  

We tend to get wrapped up in our daily stresses and struggles. Perhaps we should look to the night sky to be reminded of how much more to us, to life, there is. As humans, we are inclined to judge and focus on what divides us. Maybe it is time to focus on what connects us. We fight each other out of fear. We fight each other due to a misbelief in lack. What we have to realize is that we are provided for. We truly lack nothing. There is plenty of water, food and renewable energy to go around. It is our duty, our responsibility, to demand that the greed that impedes these basics of life give way so that all may enjoy our God given rights to healthy food, clean water and renewable resources. 

A saying was channeled to me that I love:

---

I am created from the heavens 

I am created from the Earth

I am who I truly am 

My essence is Divine Love 

So it is. 

Perhaps this holiday we can focus less on society's consumer driven mania and more on what really matters: sharing love and kindness. Not just with your own family, but with your human family. Doing the work that I do, I get to see just how connected we all are. It is time to acknowledge and remember that. It is time to BE who we truly are - to BE from the heart. 

Below is a beautiful video that definitely gives some perspective. Enjoy.
