abundance is a natural state of the nature of life.when our emotions attach to time bound fears we stiffen the flow of abundance
science, religion and politics seem destined to mimic the beauty and diversification of nature as close as humanly possible. With that as our mindset we can employ our masses with dignity and hope. Our goals are simple. A dignified access to 1.5 gallons water, 2,000 nutritional calories, 200 cubic feet secure tenure to individuals as they exist within a shared environment.
Franklin Roosevelt said the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance to those who have much; it is whether we provide enough to those who have too little.

well, let me see. i think i am supposed to be afraid of Sharia law being imposed upon quite unseemly American women such as myself; i hear that the entire western world in in a severe "downturn"; there are those that say the Fed is run by a mysterious lot of old cunning men, most likely of the Jewish faith, who are going to bleed all the currency from the foundering middle class, Hispanic people are going to multiply and invade until all honest work is swallowed up; good meaning Christians in Afganistan are being slaughtered as spies, (ie dont be a do gooder), maybe I should even be afraid of a Lame Duck session of Congress where the evil Democrats will conspire to make socialists of us all against our will, and dont forget Grandma, whose plug may still be pulled, and the OIL which will certainly kill all life in the Gulf... while Greenland melts....Meanwhile, Today, the sun shone, the leaves shimmered, the egrets flew out over the island, and Abundance, which is ever present, always there, and flows to and from each of us according to our belief, sighed and shook Her lovely hair.......

ReplyDeleteIn our quest for more and more,
and our many selfish deeds,
we treat Mother Earth like a whore,
as we meet our selfish needs.
We've spread like a virus
and caused her awful infections,
we take what we want
without the slightest reflection
of how to give back, or how
to be less intrusive, we
push and we push , till
her fruits are illusive,
then we scratch our heads and
think who should we blame?
Mother Earth has seen us before,
she knew we'd go.. before we came,
and her beauty will be restored,
but she just stands there as we use her,
so we delude ourselves thinking we are smarter,
but she knows her abuser,and that though we beat her harder... we will disappear,
when she decides she's had enough,
and she will wait with infinite patience,
for those who will come someday to Love.

ReplyDeleteAs long as there is a tiny bit of truth about a seemingly negative thing, it can be given roots to grow and choke out our own natural birthright upon this Earth of overflowing renewal. Our critical assessments of others in the world have become complex and pitted against our knowing that the sun comes up, others are quite a bit like ourselves, and that the standards of society change with differing cultures and generations. IMHO, we can allow this to constrict the flow of abundance into and out of our own beings and defeat us. If we but looked about we could see the overflowing evidence of the cycles and renewals of life.
At this time we are bombarded by looming fears of Nature, of Others, of the Forces That Be. Underneath our pointing out of Others' flaws we might sense that surely it cannot be OK to be ourselves, but we insist it would be a horror to be Them. We must band together Against instead of For. To be For is to be a simpleton, to be inclusive, a pipe dream. It is much easier to band together with a common enemy. Sophistry reigns.
All I am saying is, that if we stop, go inside and realize, allow the flow to pass through us, amazing results can occur. There is nothing new under the sun, the larger picture shows there is no actual end, no boogey man but ourselves, but one has to look past all the clutter. So, be For something. If it is an altruistic view of Shelter, Food, and Clean Water for all, then go towards it, filtering out all the static of this particular generation.
well said, bonniecucchi, and don't kid yourself, that was very poetic :)
