With the help of gentle light, soft shadows and the golden hew of mountain in the background you speak to me of calm and peace, and that is what I am searching for tonight.
I almost chuckled as I began to write as I realized that it took a combined effort of family members to bring the peace that I spoke of . Each of you are beautiful in your own ways and bring peace in your own ways, yet ... together there is a deepening of that peace. You remind me that .. yes we are alone..yet we are also together.. and I tend to forget that all to often.
Your gentle surface ripples, speak of unknown activity even as you give the appearance of calm. There is more going on within you that is not visible to the human eye. So like us humans, when we can appear calm on the outside, with much going on within.
I have a hard time "being truly at peace" when so much is stirring within me! The needs and pain of All Our Relations tug at my heart and drain my spirit. How do we bring together so many differing views to meet the urgent needs of our family?
Is it possible to truly be at peace and at the same time address the web of issues and concerns among us?
What would you say to me dear Water? I truly need your wisdom.
Dear Assunta,
First of all, I'm glad that you can find peace in my presence and the family that surrounds me.. that is your/our first clue to having peace.. knowing we are not alone.. as you said.. we are alone yet we are also together. At no time are you alone.. The Energy of Love envelopes you both within and without!! It is when we forget that vital connection that fear can enter and drain our energy.
There are many urgent needs and there are many ways of meeting those needs..the difficulty is finding the common good...that is something that the human community has thought less and less about. You are still very caught up in Independence and competition which moves you farther and farther away from what is best for all concerned.
You have used the phrase "decisions should be made by those most affected by them" and that is a process that can lead to the common good. That is not the case in your Congress right now.. yet things can change. You want immediate action on critical issues and that seems fair, yet in order for that to happen it has to be the will of the people and that takes time.
Be the ripple that stirs the water...patience..persistence...alone and together..can move more than you know.
Too much too fast does not always bring the best results...! You must know and understand the long range ramifications of your choices if there is to be real healing and growth.
Ah yes.. don't spread yourself thin trying to do more. Know your gifts and talents and focus your energy on what truly speaks to your heart. Trying to do too much limits rather than helps.
Be the ripple that stirs the water...and as you ripple be at peace, how?
Holding the awareness that you are not alone, focusing your energy and engaging others whose gifts and talents, like mountain and light, can add their unique dimension to the situation being addressed.
Dear water, thank you so much! You have shown me that true wisdom can also be "common sense" and I don't often equate the two.
