WE NEED TO BEGIN WITH OURSELVES

 
Good Morning! I am back to my Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. I don't see anything, looming in the future, to change that. We just got over a hot spell and it is now cool and beautiful. It is only 69F and it is already 10AM. Great! A very pleasant relief.

It was Jamie's birthday Wednesday. I forgot to mention it in my blog. I was preoccupied with relating the story of how I injured my finger. Jamie didn't want to go out to eat nor did she want to cook an elaborate birthday dinner. So I elected myself to be cook. I found some wild caught, coho salmon at Coborns in Mora. We had a delightful meal of pan fried salmon, rice, and cauliflower in a sauce [Jamie made]. It was a low key celebration, but it was great.

Since my injured finger, I haven't been doing the dishes. I told Jamie to get me a rubber glove and I will do them. She thinks I should wait until the healing takes a firm hold. We will see. It still looks awful, but it doesn't bother me much. I can type much better.

My lawn was mowed neatly for the wedding but it is already looking shaggy. It usually doesn't grow that fast this time of year. However, we were coming off a dry spell and the grass re-awoke from its dormancy. It is acting like Spring.

I had lots of things I wanted to talk about, none of them had to do with the state of the world. I don't want to put my energy into the craziness and divisiveness of the world. The old world is not going to collapse with a whimper. We are in for a wild ride. There will be much chaos. I doubt if either presidential candidate will make it to the White House. In the next week or so I will explain why I think that.

Although, there are enlightened leaders in the world, they are not powerful enough, or in the position, to cause a top-down change. Change is going to come from us. The waking up process is beginning at the bottom and rising. Leaders and politicians who are not awake to the rising tide will not make it. {Maybe, this cycle, definitely not the next} Us, you and me, must commit ourselves to look for the love in the world and refuse to give energy to what isn't. This is not to deny that the world is stark raving mad! The criminality and corruption of some of our leaders defies description. Yet, except for helping the blind to see, it doesn't help to focus on it.

We need to join, with the loving energy of the universe, in our everyday lives. Bring peace to our own selves. Let our bodies be used as communication devices for all that is love. Our power to spark hope and joy in another being is infinite. When we smile at someone in the grocery store, with genuine radiance, we may be kindling a flame of love in their heart that has been missing.

Every time we smile, every time we laugh, every time we sing, dance or play music with abandon, we raise the level of Love Energy in the World. It is that energy, that comes from us, you and me, that will change the world.

Anger, fear, war, violence etc. cannot exist in an atmosphere of love; and it won't. We the people, are waking up! We, by nurturing paradise in our own lives, are creating the energy to make the change that will affect the whole world. We are expanding the energy of love- it won't be stopped.

Don't look for higher-ups to bring change. They are to locked in to the crazy drama. Let us look to ourselves. We want peace- create it in our own lives.

Love, joy and peace, is our right, as members of this loving universe. Let us remember it throughout the day; everyday.

Love and Peace, Gregg
