It's All Energy

Dear friends, the real battle in this world-age is not left vs right, Democrat vs Republican, one class vs. another. The real battle is positive energy vs. negativity. And it isn't even a battle, but a blossoming.

Someday not far from now, we will marvel that our family was ever divided in the duality of 'white people' vs. 'people of color,' socialist vs. capitalist, native vs. foreigner; or that we ever let this mental chatter rend us from our bodily fellowship with soil, wind, sunlight and water.

We will marvel how we once bought into the notion that the best way to solve problems is to divide ourselves into two warring parties, and waste all our time and energy vilifying the "other side."

We will marvel how we ever believed that pain, rage, lust, and addiction were not our purest love in denser, more contracted forms of energy; or how we couldn't see the stranger as our own self, with an intriguing look in her eye. We will marvel that we once believed the way of Christ, the way of Buddha, the way of the Prophet, the way of Mother Kali, were not all dances of this flame in our heart, who is waylessly present always.

Why waste one more moment being trapped in concepts, getting hypnotized by political buzzwords, or draining our golden energy with blame? Breathe your source. Radiate your creation. Make what you love to do your revolution. Vow to be healed by the next human being you meet. And when in doubt, take off your shoes, walk in the wet grass.
