"Stop thinking this is all there is..."

[Shine]

"Stop thinking this is all there is. Realize that for
every ongoing war and religious outrage and
environmental devastation and bogus Iraqi attack plan,
there are a thousand counter-balancing acts of
staggering generosity and humanity and art and beauty
happening all over the world, right now, on a
breathtaking scale, from flower box to cathedral.
Resist the temptation to drown in fatalism, to shake
your head and sigh and just throw in the karmic towel.
Realize that this is the perfect moment to change the
energy of the world, to step right up and crank your
personal volume; right when it all seems dark and
bitter and offensive and acrimonious and conflicted
and bilious... there's your opening.

Remember magic! And, finally, believe you are part of
a groundswell, a resistance, a seemingly small but
actually very, very large impending karmic overhaul, a
great shift, the beginning of something important and
potent and unstoppable."

This was written back in '02, but it seems particularly relevant now, during this divisive primary season.

Remember, we're all in this together, people! Let's keep the Bigger Picture in mind.

1. My dear Shine!

Indeed, how true that all is!

Thank you for it...

It is so damn easy to get lost in the tiny, sometimes discouraging, details...
