It seems hard at times to accept and believe that we have that much say so over what goes on in our lives. That we can even expect to be empowered through a simple practice of showing up daily for life and believing in the design and the grand order. That all I have to do now is show up, sit down to meditation and quiet the mind through the flow of THE TAO WhIcH Is EVeRyWHeRe! tHen go on about my day doing whatever it is I do for the world. Chop the wood and fetch the water to quote a good dying friend. Whatever it is I do, I do it well without complaining and continue the focus not on why or how, but HERE AND NOW! Dice the onions, serve up the ice cream cones, work on the road puddles and feed the children with compassion.
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
