I hope that everyone is in good health- mentally, physically and spiritually. I have been thinking about the Earthquake and the resulting Tsunami in Asia...I have seen the pictures of people in the media...The pain and devastation on their faces. I realized that I have been sensitized to seeing such images. I don't think that that's healthy. As Americans we are so far removed from things that occur throughout the globe because it's not impacting us directly. I didn't lose my house, my job or a family member. I don't think that that's right for me. We are a human family. We must extend ourselves beyond ourselves... our little sphere of existence.

The Earthquake did not happen in the United States, but it's impact effects us just the same. The Earth that WE live on experienced a major jolt. If energy is never created or destroyed, what has happened to the energy that ripples from one part of the country to another? I do not have the exact answer, but I do believe that, although possibly subtle, we will feel the effects of this devastation. The mass, collective grief that is permeating that area of the globe won't stay there...energy moves. The effects on us may be minor because we HAVE been sensitized to things we've seen on television. We don't REALLY feel anymore. Sometimes what we experience as a feeling is the correct, PROGRAMMED response. People die, we are supposed to be sad. Some of us have the ability to absorb the emotions of others...sometimes a good thing , sometimes a bad thing.

Let's extend our prayers to the Earth and the Human Family. U will find that we are actually praying for ourselves when we pray for others. We are all impacted. Pay attention to subtle changes in your feelings during these times. Do U feel sad and can't really figure out why because everything is going well? Like natural wildfires these disasters come, Mother earth is being herself...

The people DIRECTLY impacted by this disaster have to rebuild mind. body and spirits from the most basic, cellular (no, not cell phone, but cells of body)levels. Let's not wait for a catastrophe in our own lives before we take notice...pay attention and (re)build our own lives. What we do on an individual level impacts us all collectively. We are connected. No matter how much we are told we are an army of one. We are not armies of one. No one can survive with just themselves. Individualism supports Capitalism, Consumerism and selfishness. We are a communal people. If that's not true, why are you here and why have we created ways out of NO ways to stay connected with each other? We are even connected to those people that we've never met. We are connected in our grief regardless of the catalyst that precipitated the grief. We've all lost something dear to us even if it was your beloved goldfish.

Well, those are my thoughts. I pray that we continue to evolve, continue to grow (not necessarily wider, but higher in our thinking and spirits).

Love to All! Peace(Harmony Within), Love(Highest Vibrational Energy), Light(Wisdom)
