Be the change you wish to see in the world. ~Gandhi Today, I came upon a 1 minute video (created by Louie Schwartzberg, narrated by Morgan Freeman) that will be the opening for the United Nations climate talks on September 23. It is one powerful minute of truth. Please spend one minute of your time to view it and see how it affects you. I, personally, believe that we are all powerful elements of change, according to our own inner integrity. We can spend our energy, like that of the waves, in affecting change for our planet and for the future generations to inhabit it. Use your ever-renewing, ever-unfolding expression of life to be the wave of change and make a difference! Wisdom of the wave Stand on the shore at night. You can hear the sound of the waves. You can see them break and whiten on the rocks. But the sea itself, vast and imponderable and strange and deep, you cannot see. A wave breaks on the rocks and then is gone, and all that is left behind is a fading line of foam. Yet the sea is more than the foam that fades on the rock. The sea is more than the wave into which it shaped itself for a moment. When wave and foam are gone, the sea abides to shape itself into another wave and fling itself in foam on the rocks again. You are like a sea that shapes itself into a wave. The wave will expend itself, but you will not expend yourself. You will shape yourself into an infinity of waves. You are the ever-renewing, ever-unfolding expression of infinite life. You are the spirit of the Infinite moving across infinity.

This morning, I was inspired by watching another of the visual art feasts provided by Louie Schwartzberg in his latest offering in the Moving Art TM series -- Origins. It's beautiful, evocative, primal quality with lovely musical interpretation by Lisbeth Scott put me into a trancelike, meditative state. The deep beauty of our world is both an inspiration and a call to action to protect our amazing planet Earth. I am moved and honored to be even a small peripheral part of this time, this moment. Perhaps all generations throughout time feel that they are at a pivotal point in history, and if so, then my feelings are no different. I do feel the momentum changing, speeding up the universe, accelerating change to the point of intolerability. Climate change is only one aspect of this. The only real, lasting antidote is truth & beauty. If we remember our origins, reclaim who we truly are, stand strong in our intuition and belief and speak our truth quietly and clearly, we can be the change we long to see in our world -- from the inside out. Please check out the amazing, inspiring videos from Louie Schwartzberg via Youtube. Let the visual beauty and magnificence of nature lift your spirits and open your heart to hope. |
