There seems to be gross darkness that’s covering the earth. It’s crept up on us, like a serpent. People are really, really tired … a strange tiredness. Young, old, and indifferent; more people are being quite vocal about it. Some are afraid and depressed.
Will we continue to labor just for the temporal, using our minimal fallible, overwhelmed, tired, depleted selves; drinking the formula…the Koolaid, only to feel the same way as one day rolls into the next. Are we here just to labor for the temporal…that which has no eternal substance no real power to elicit change. Will this deter?
There is a rest or a peace that stabilizes us so we can mobilize for our people, our families, and our communities. This is good news! Many are working so hard, striving to do the best that can be done, and having done all, they are standing! They are becoming so fitly joined together, that such strength is being exuded. This tenacity that emanates an unpopular truth, a truth that can keep family, friends, and community free. Free to recognize a deep need for each other; an unfathomable desire for healing and change. Notice how you start to doubt and have unbelief when you digress from this path. There is opposition, yes.. that’s partly.. you’, but as you move against the grain, somehow you push! and propel forward. The materialistic pursuits always seemed so important… but now it starts to change. It may feel that meditating on what is wholesome and good these days, is like ‘the ring of fire’ or walking in the desert sun, that quickly can turn to a storm with torrential rain and hail. You take a deep breath .. and you keep going.
We are awake now; hungry and thirsty souls elated, yet again. Hoping that the mortal alas, may finally experience the quickening of mortal bodies. This rest, this peace, stabilizes us so we can mobilize, heal, and change. What a reason to finally labor.
YOU’RE AWAKE NOW, GET UP AND COME ON!!!! PUSH’
