A pat on the head for all of us!

God ends chapter 18 of CWG book 3 saying:

“Your Grandest ideas are as yet unexpressed, and your grandest vision unlived.

But wait! Look! Notice!! The days of your blossoming are at hand. The stalk has grown strong, and the petals are soon to open. And I tell you this: The beauty and the fragrance of your flowering shall fill the land, and you shall yet have your place in the Garden of the Gods.”

I’d like to lighten things up a bit today. No complaining. No calling people out.

Today I would like to compliment humanity! I’d like to take notice of what we are doing right…what is actually working!

Of course, the largest thing to point out is that there are so many of us having the conversations that could change our world! We are actively talking about spirituality in politics, we are talking about the environment and its economic and social impact. And we are doing more than talking. We are actually deciding that we are the ones who can do something about what we see.

We are doing things large and small. People like Marianne Williamson are moving from their comfort zones and entering the political fray. Housewives like me are moving out of the house and onto the blogosphere and into the streets and honoring our hippy heritage! We are turning off lights, installing water efficient toilets, walking, biking, driving fuel efficient cars. We are taking care of our bodies. I, personally, have not used shampoo (baking soda and water only!) for over a year; I do not drink soda, I have gone to a naturopath to lower my blood pressure instead of using drugs. We are recycling and re-using. We are noticing what the human impact is having on creatures large and small, and all of nature.

In other words, we are walking the walk, not just talking the talk. We are Being the change we wish to see…or at least more and more are doing so…and more than we know are doing so.

I know it may seem as though nothing we do will make any difference in the total scheme of things…but that would be a wrong thought. Everything we do makes a difference. There is no separating one another from what we do. There is no one whose effort, no matter how seemingly small, is less than. For, just as the ocean is made up of billions of individual drops of water, so, too, is global change made up of billions of small changes. Our living the change is going to demonstrate, to all who see, our understanding of who we are, and our Oneness, and invite them to examine a different way.  Let’s not be arrogant and fall into the trap of thinking our way is the only way, but be open to all ideas.

I am patting us all on the head for starting the dialog, because all great change begins with small conversations, as Neale has pointed out in his most eloquent way.  I am giving us all the thumbs up for doing our small part…for creating our places in the Garden of the Gods.

Today I leave you with a little poem that I wrote:

T.

DROP

A pool of deep,black,

Water,

Light glowing upon the

Surface,

Illuminating the endless

Circles,

Created by the single

Drop.

Do you see it?

Asked

God.

I said,

Yes.

Then, said

God,

Be 

The

Drop.
