Waking up to Heart

Too many of Corporate and US Government actions are point blank criminal in nature.

As our government kills innocent people, steals resources to empower the rich and I am not just outraged at this current news: our government has been responsible for killing 100,000's over the past few years within wars of terror. It doesn't stop here in the United States, look around the world to other governments: to find additional examples of heartless actions tearing down the best aspects of humanity.

I could for hours list links and resources showing problems and issues and on and on and on and on...

Other sites and resources have been doing this, alerting people to all of this for years. So I don't expect to write some magical post here that awakens people to work towards heart and resolve these issues.

I have written this blog post 4 or 5 times over the years and deleted it every time... as it wouldn't serve a deeper truth, wouldn't engage hearts that have been dis-engaged for so long.


I have held a dying man in my arms on the streets of New York City. I don't need to be told how to make a difference

Everyday we awaken...

So

Wake up, live and reach out

a person at a time

Or you can live to headlines and without heart

It's a personal choice everyone makes

every day


The battle isn't to save the world

Instead

The challenge is to connect to one's own heart. The rest will follow.


Namaste

I do like this. sometimes when i feel overwhelmed by the immensity of social structures that i mispercieve as being too large...and i find myself thinking " what can i really hope to accomplish against such a construct...better not to waste my energy...ill just ignore it.", i think again and realize that every action no matter how infintesimally small causes a ripple. every action no matter how infinitesimally small makes what could be into what will be.

yes it is amazing how just working to heart, helping in small actions do reflect in making a difference.

Ful-filling our own life and so many others

simply by living simply
and to the heart
