Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving one to another.

~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~

for this weekly installment showing you the astonishing light of your being, please re-member that you matter, that you can make a difference and we so need each other to be of courage, of strong heart when all over the planet, life is out of balance and we know we must change the dream we’ve been living… when we listen to the indigenous, the people of the land who listen to the all that is, we hear the clarion call to love our mother and each other… water, air, trees, sun, moon, stars, all our relatives, and we are all relatives, woven together intricately, inextricably, interconnectedly…

we can all feel we are at a tipping point, a sacred space with birth pangs so intense… the now moment when we must band together, stand together in love, throw off the illusion of separation, re-member the reality that we are one…

yes, let us take courage and be of strong heart, awaken the dream of the world we all share and long to realeyes… a world of peace built on justice and guided by love…

may we band together for this shared vision…
