I talked with a friend just outside of D.C. over the weekend, and to my family who live right at the water at the shore – one waiting for snowplows and the other calling a worker to bring over his so the kids can even get out the door! Have to say I can’t ever remember having that much snow in Philly!
This week my little 7 year old grandson is being fitted for a special chair, to help him be comfortable as his Muscular Dystrophy progresses. I’d love to hear from anyone who has little boys (or big ones) with this incredibly diverse and individuated disease. These are brave little guys, these ones that MD chooses. There was no warning…no family history. But there it is.
So these angels all, bring us a message. Is it about how our food is processed? What’s in it? Is it just genetic glitches? Things to ponder, even as his parents go through the daily routine of caring…hurting…watching out, even for teachers who have tried to force him to do things that his little body now isn’t able to do.
So today, he was helped to go sledding – what fun! (I had a great sled about a thousand years ago – give or take a bunch of hundreds
And I am grateful. Grateful for the experience of the smile of my little grandboy…grateful for his parents and my other little grandboys who stay by his side, as little as they still are, to protect him and look after him.
And again, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s talk about how the awareness of Oneness, and how it’s demonstrated in situations like this – or Autism – or any number of things that affect our little ones.
I mean, I had heard of it.
But, I’d never read it.
I do know that there are no coincidences in Universe/God/Life.
So, I’m buying some used books for my university classes; and an old Noam Chomsky 2-disc CD catches my eye on Amazon – one of my favorite places to shop. I give them a 99.9%. Can’t resist. Get it from a seller for $3.00.
Later, on the road, I pop it into the player. Plays perfectly. The CD isn’t quite what I thought, as Chomsky begins speaking about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He tells the history of it, coming out of the Breton Woods agreement…and so very much more. I am spell-bound by the information, the wisdom shared, and the awareness of this…and I’m feeling a connection.
By the time I get to my parking space, I am fascinated; but, have other things to do. We’re turning our language lab into a Global Cultural Space – where Who we are is shared…where we can learn the best of one another (we can hear the not-best ourselves all the time.)
A bit later, I’m cruising through the titles of some Communications books on the shelves of the Blue Room (a break room/lounge.) Some are old, others boring. I turn to my left and see one little pamphlet sitting all by itself in the center of the only empty shelf of the cases.
Its title: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
A chill goes completely through my body. My Spirit is yelling in my ears: Yo! Pay attention! So, okay – I don’t need a brick to fall on my head to see a message.
I’ve not been able to ignore, what for me is a fact: this connection between Humanity’s Team; Team Humanity network; We are all One – and practicing…
…and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Perhaps, rather than a civil rights movement for the soul…
We are an human rights movement for the Spirit.
Everything has a Spiritual component and a Spiritual solution.
What a powerful tool to utilize right beside the 5 Steps to Peace; The Four Agreements; the 9 New Revelations; the 5 fallacies about God; the 5 Fallacies about Life…and more. We are all messengers, one to the other, yes?
What gift do these spirits in Haiti and so many other places bring to us…over and over again…?
The gift of allowing us to demonstrate Who We Say We Really Are: One with God/Life and One with each other. Just like The Little Soul in the Sun.
We are all One. Somos Uno.
Get up.
Stand up.
As One.
If you’re anything like me, CPR is something I took a while back and have never had to use. A friend of mine – George Kao (who, by the way, has a business helping folks network their businesses, so if you’re interested let me know, yes?) shared this and I’m passing it on to you, because I think it really is helpful for those of us who aren’t quite the best at stuff like this.
This video was shared on a wonderful, insightful Blog that a friend who is on my Facebook has. Here’s the url for his blog – check it out because it’s dynamic, to say the least. Look through what he’s written (including books)…enjoy the pictures…the blog posts…and more. It’s Spirituality…Oneness…and I think you’ll love it. I do.
My friend, David, wrote to me on Facebook and said the following: My response to him is below that. I thought I’d share it with you as a way of beginning 2010 (an artificial, but workable marker) with a call to Spiritual Activism. Blessings and a Spiritual Activist New Year!!!
******************************
Happy New Year! You are such a warrior of light! Thank you for your friendship. 2010 is the year that the tide turns for so many who have been so hurt… I wish you abundant blessings, strength and especially joy on your journey this year. My intuition feels very right about what is going to happen. Justice born from divine love will begin to manifest and we will see the beginning of shackles being broken. A new wave of freedom will as we’ve never witnessed before will begin to swell on the shores of our collective consciousnes. Your work demonstrates to me love in action and love never fails.

Thank you, David – and may I say the same to you. And I, too, believe that 2010 begins what has already been started, here and there.
Do we claim Oneness as our Reality? Then stand up and declare it.
Do we claim that Hate, Fearspin, and loathesome rhetoric hurled by those who only want Power and Profit over does not serve us as a Human Race (there is only one race – all else is a fallacious construct of Power)? Then stand up and declare it; leaning on each other for strength, endurance and feeling that Oneness.
Can we sing about Oneness? Then sing it out loud and sing it to those who are yearning to hear others sing to them, so others know we are here…and spreading the reality of Oneness through our songs.
Can we talk about Oneness? Then be a Spoken Word Artist…spreading the words that Heal, rather than Hurt; spreading the words that bind together, rather than tear apart.
Can we heal? Yes! We can all heal each other! We are Messengers, one to the other. Spread the message! It is all well and good never to look at what is and only speak of Peace and Light and Love. But, if you don’t stand up and spread the message you say you believe in…
how do others even know we’re here…
or that we care?
Stand up.
As One.
Hold on to one another – it makes Fear run.
