Licking the Razor's Edge (2015)

We have tried “change from the top” for thousands of years, my Friends. The experiment
is over, and it has proven conclusively to be a failure. Change must come from the
“bottom up” – change must come from us!
There is no such thing as anyone who is “only human” … Every one of you is a
conscious, caring being who is fully capable of reaching out and tending gently to
another in need in your community; another who has been repeatedly abandoned by the
very “leaders” you have championed in elections past & present.
In the words of my all-time favorite anti-politician: “BE NOT AFRAID”.
*Be not afraid of failing, for to reach out to another IS to succeed.
*Be not afraid of being left alone, for to Care selflessly for another is to expand your
Family ten-fold.
*Be not afraid of governmental retribution, for selfless service need not be loud and
rebellious. There is no need to overthrow a government that is no longer viable.
*Be not afraid that you don’t have enough to “make a difference”. Simply take all the
time and money and energy that you were going to spend on politics and politicians and
invest instead where it truly counts — into the lives of those in need in your own
community.
One person at a time, one moment at a time … this is The Way that real change occurs.
For this is what it means for us to awaken and finally be the change we so want to see …
This, my Friends, is The Way.
“There is no way to Peace
… Peace is The Way.
There is no way to Giving
… Giving is The Way.
There is no way to Oneness
… Oneness is The Way.”
(~ inspired by Gandhi)
