The Year So Far
What a year its been, cyclones, floods, an earthquake and tsunami that has touched the whole world, and a nuclear event, all bringing to mind the fragility of life on this planet and awareness of the folly of our notions of being in control of our lives and the events in them.
In the midst of this comes heart warming tales of survivors and connections between human beings faced with events almost beyond imagination. Disasters do that, bring us to recognize whats important in our lives, to turn to the next person and offer help to go on.
I have observed as people have asked “What can we do, how can we help?” There have been many imaginative suggestions for “energetic” help, times of collective focus on areas where the need seems greatest. There has been mention of the Tokyo earthquake in Mikao Usuis’s time when he physically went and gave help.
It doesnt sound like much, but one thing we can all do is take care of ourselves, to do our daily practice, address the fears and concerns for the future of people and the planet within our own selves, to just be here now wherever we are. Where ever we go, thats where we are, thats where we have an effect. Peace, love and healing is held in every moment, in every breath we take.
