“Everything that is in the heavens, on the earth and under the earth, is penetrated with connectedness, penetrated with relatedness” Meister Eckhart, German mystic (1260-1327)
Everywhere we look we see images of violence, in our homes, on our streets, in our schools, and in our weather!! We see it in advertising, in films, in the news. We see it in strife within companies, communities, and nations, and between them. We find it expressed physically, sexually, emotionally, and psychologically—and Now in the chaos of OUR WEATHER. It is everywhere and we feel powerless in the face of it.
Let’s just stop it. Let writers and actors and all those who portray violence. Let the media stop presenting stories about it. Let parents and teachers and brothers and sisters, men and women and children STOP. Let the political economic, judicial and religious institutions STOP.
Let us all spend time in silence, stillness, meditation and prayer each day, drawing on the spirit within us to lead us into kindness, openness of heart, goodness, well-being, generosity and good will.
AMEN SO BE IT.
