SPRING

It is alternately Sunny and dreary outside my study window. The clouds seem to separate for a few minutes and allow the Sun to shine through and then close up again. It is blustery, the wind coming and going, but it is warm! It is already 53 F and it is not yet Noon. It will probably get over 60 today. It didn't drop below freezing last Night for the first time in a while. There are larger patches of lawn showing, but still significant piles of snow. It is an interesting Spring day.

It is Spring! The birds are arriving from the South. The Robins have been here for a week and the Grackles made a noisy entrance yesterday. A Cardinal stands high atop a White Cedar and sings his territorial song. The avian orchestration is beginning in early Morning. Yes! It is Spring.

We have been through a tough Winter. The World has been through a tough Winter lasting a few thousand years. Are we emerging? I think so. It is a chaotic Spring, however, we seem to be surrounded by more craziness than we ever have experienced. It is such a paradox because the people I meet on a daily basis seem to be blooming and their eyes shine with love. Of course, I know nothing of their life struggles.

Since my own life struggle with my health I have not been too tuned in to the life struggles of my friends and family. Moving here has cut us off from the day to day struggles of many of our friends. I wonder, are folks affected by the changes that are happening? On a global scale it is obvious, but the reporting is so distorted and tends to be self-serving of The Empire it is hard to discern what is happening.

I guess it doesn't matter. Change is coming from you and me. Love rises up, in this case it doesn't trickle down. You and I have to bring salvation to this tired world. It is the individual who chooses to love in all her/his choices who brings enlightenment to the world. Perhaps using the word individual isn't correct because as a person learns to love they begin to sense their oneness with all. As one light turns on, others around turn on, soon the power of love is building in the whole of humanity. It is irresistible. Those who imagine themselves at the top must yield to the love or vacate their positions.

I know we have been waiting for a long time and the world has never looked so nutty. There is no reason that you should have confidence in my saying that major change is on the horizon. Check it out. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Avoid the polarizing subjects. Listen to their hearts, look into their eyes. Hold nothing in your mind but love. See where the conversation goes.

All that folks want is to be loved and appreciated by those around them. They know they have been used and manipulated by the power people, but they don't want to retaliate, they don't want revenge, they just want to be left alone to love and raise their families. In one way or another, most of the people know their oneness with every fiber of their being. They may not have thought about it but they were raised by people who they needed to depend on for their very survival. We have been taught an error about dependence/independence. Like all the creatures of nature it is important for the young to learn to get their food, clothing and housing on their own. However, we are never separate from others in our wish for love and companionship. We are always part of something more than us; families, organizations, society, government, and the Universe. We can feel autonomous, but independent?

The people of the world are ready to shed the yoke that controlled them for thousands of years. No person is higher than the next. All are entitled to love and happiness. We are beginning to 'see'. We know we helped make the crazy world by embracing fear instead of following love. We are not going to do that anymore. We are going to love each other, all of us, there won't be any 'other'.

A tsunami of love is building. The great awakening is not far off.

Love and Peace, Gregg
