Be the Change
Two phrases keep cycling through my mind, like a song that I can't get out of my head: "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the country", a typing drill my mom taught me and Susan Powter's "Stop the Insanity!" from the early 90s. The sense of urgency to awaken Humanity to the possibility to Peace is a constant force in my life. Even with my own day to day obligations, I sense the increasing intensity in every cell of my being.
Peace is attainable. I believe the answer lies in summoning the courage to finally BE THE CHANGE. Although many millions know that FEAR has created conflict, it is that very fear that inhibits resolution. In America, like much of the world, we are governed by a self-perpetuating cycle of fear. When we understand the strength we could have in numbers, empower ourselves with a vision and collaborative effort toward Unity, we would dispel Fear and change our lives. In turn, it would dismantle the systems, both here and abroad, that are perpetuated to support the agendas of the few. America could be a model for the world.
