Those who don’t “know” are at peace, blissfully innocent. It’s those of us who “know” , who see the horror and pain and wrongdoing and injustice and exploitation that exists in the world who are forced to take action and raise consciousness. It is not easy to “know”. To see what is possible and to want brother and sister humans to evolve, grow, create UTOPIA even!! When you see what is “possible”, you have no choice but to dedicate your life to sharing what you see, thru art, music, healing work, activism, politics, SERVICE. Thru conversations and interactions that happen every day. When i look at the trees blooming, the willows, the magnolias, the weeping cherries, the dogwoods, i am filled with a hope that springs gushing into my heart from the eternal wellspring of the earth, our mother, that we are all capable of supreme kindness and beautiful action. Let the storms come, the hurricane winds and the earthquakes and the floods; we all know that tragedy “happens”. But it is what we do with what we are given that matters. Kiss the ground and say hello to the ants and ask them how they are doing in the place they find themselves in the wild order of the universe. Ask the trees, and the birds and the bees - show us how to be! To revel and celebrate existence until stepped on or toppled or crushed! Yes, the burden is on those who know. So lift the veils and shine your light. No holding back now. Change one thing. Do one thing to make the world safer, better, healthier, today and every day. Stop using plastic grocery bags and shop with your own canvas tote. Support your local farmers by shopping at the local farmers markets about to open in our sweet city. Help a stranger, volunteer, pick up a piece of trash, write a song, play with a child. The Universe will open the portal to blessings wider than you can imagine…!!! with much love and spring blooming blessings, xoxox Linda
