TIME To WAKE UP and REMEMBER That We Are ALL ONE..!!

Like many of you I am quite sure, I am still trying to fully process the horrific tragedy that occurred this week in Florida.  I just cannot fathom the pain, grief, and suffering that the family and friends of all those SPIRITS who lost their lives way too soon.     It is so easy to simply judge others at a time like this.  Many are judging the President and his administration.  While others judge the NRA.  And then of course, there are some who judge people with mental health issues.  And I can understand those feelings of wanting to blame someone or something for all the atrocities that have befallen us in recent times.  And I also would NEVER wish to interrupt the dignity of anyone's process of dealing with their emotions.  That just isn't fair........

However, I know that what we judge draws more of that same energy into our experience.  We don't attract what we desire into our lives.  No, please understand that we attract into our lives more of WHAT WE ARE!!  And that is in no way shape or form trying to say that WE created the tragedy in Florida.  What I am declaring is that there is a way in which we can ALL share in the process of creating a higher vibration filled with LOVE AND COMPASSION that I know has the power to bring more Light into the World!  For as Martin Luther King said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate: only LOVE can do that."

From many conversations, I know most of us are not happy with the world in its current condition.  Myself included.  But as the saying goes, you can either be part of the problem, or part of the solution.  So as you go about your own personal process of dealing with your current emotions, please do not forget the power of ACCEPTANCE!  I know it it a process in and of itself to find acceptance in many parts of our lives and in the world at large.  But once we can truly ACCEPT that which is, we can use that same energy we were using as resistance, and put it into actionable steps.  Steps filled with compassionate listening and understanding.   Filled with LOVE AND COMPASSION!  And to start acknowledging one another by holding out a helping hand.  In a manner that suits you best.  And the time to start is NOW......!!!!

Billions live their lives
Now Muhammad, Krisha, or the Buddha are the way.
Still some believe it's right to say
In the name of Jesus when you pray.

[Chorus:]
We are a human kind of 7 billion
So many different races and religions
And it all comes down to one

Some say God's a him
Still many believe that He is a Her
Does God Live in our hearts?
Or is She somewhere out there in the universe.

[Chorus]

How far will have to go before we learn the lesson?
Gandhi, was a Hindu
Martin Luther King, a Christian
Regardless of religion, they knew love was the mission
And it all comes down to one.

Is there no God at all?
Or a pantheon of gods up in the sky
We can heal our broken hearts
If we give up the desire to be right.

We are a human kind of seven billion
So many different races and religions
And we all want the same things
Health, Love, Prosperity and Peace
Tolerance is the seed
And the gift of pure acceptance is the tree

[Chorus]

Whether you are red, brown, yellow, black, or white
Man with a husband, or a woman with a wife
We can debate until the end of time who is wrong or right
Or we can see ourselves as one
Cause it all comes down to love.
