Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol III (Sep - Oct 2011)

Revolution is Here …
(10/28/2011)
I’ll explain why Kindness truly works in a later epistle, and yet it is
enough for you to remember it today while you ACT ACCORDINGLY. And
have fun while you are shaking things up — doing so with thoughts of
radical Forgiveness, acts of irreverent Kindness, and a life of Joy-filled
resolve …
If it is to be effective, this Revolution must be about having a firmness
of conviction while keeping a most-gentle Heart … It must be about
demanding justice while having compassion for her violators … It must be
about standing up for what is Right with a loud voice and a firm will, while
remembering to keep both our minds and our arms calm & open.
Yes, the Revolution is indeed here … and remember:
The Revolution is Love!
“There are three kinds of people in the world: those who are asleep,
those who are stirring, and those who are awake. If you try to wake up a
sleeping person, he will curse at you and roll over and go back to sleep. If
you try to wake up a stirring person he might awaken, and yet will probably
only do so just long enough to curse you and then go back to sleep as well.
As such, instead of trying to waken those who are asleep or stirring,
simply be Kind to them. Fluff their pillows, kiss them on their foreheads,
and tuck them in. The important task for those who are Awake is to seek
each other out; to connect with others who are also Awake; to talk and sing
and openly celebrate together. This interconnection of Compassion will
alone be enough to create a groundswell of Awareness. And as this
groundswell expands and intensifies and spreads, it will of its own accord
awaken the stirring and stir those still sleeping.”
