From the darkness comes light

Being in Findhorn recently has brought much light to my life, clarified reasoning and made sense of darkness. We are indeed living in unprecedented times. Times of darkness, power hungry, evil driven. And yet, the potential for light is so enormous. The privilege of being alive now is huge. Most days I cry at what's happening but that's not always at the bad. There is so much good, such outpouring of kindness, of love happening all around me. We have the biggest potential ever now to cause death and destruction. And equally, to help, to show humanity, our love for others. To connect globally, as citizens of this earth, undivided by colour and border and words.

I feel blessed to have so many people around me making a difference in this world to people's lives. I don't want us to hate the acts of others, be aware, yes; do what we can to do, be and say what we believe in, from our hearts, but not to turn back to hateful acts with hatred. This, I believe simply mirrors and escalates that energy.

Mother Theresa taught how if we want to have world peace start with our homes, our families, ourselves. I believe the time is greater than ever, the calling more needed than ever to look at ourselves, to go deep within and integrate our own shadow, accept and learn to love our own darkness. I believe right now we have a responsibility to do this, not to focus our energy on the other but to resolve our shit, get it together ourselves. One person at a time though, what can they do?! What if each one person did it? 30, 100, 20,000 people do it, when does it start to make a difference? How can we possibly know if we don't begin. Being the change we wish to see in the world.

With love and gratitude for all who teach me x
