A New Dawn A New Day...
starlight
I’ve been reflecting on the past few days, specifically as to how they have related to the happenings around Gaia. I have been trying to understand how misunderstandings can become so intense so quick, and have such negative effects on so many, as well as inflict pain, and breathe into life a momentum that seems to build upon anger and injustice turning into an entity of blame, shame, guilt and struggle for power and position, all between human beings that have for years voiced their deep affection one for another...
How does this happen? Do we all of a sudden stop caring? Do we lose sense of what is really important? Do we lose the ability to think clearly during these times? Are we overtaken by alien forces that mean us harm and ill will? GOL...(I have to remember to lighten up and not be so serious as this is intended as a healing blog to restore balance and harmony and open a way for that to happen in a positive and loving atmosphere.)
For whatever reason, everywhere I looked this weekend while on Gaia, there was confusion and negative energy, and it was contagious. In many places there was acute anger, and hurt and pain was being splattered like blood all over this wonder-filled community that many of us have come to love and think of as a second home and family.
I was not immune. Although I managed in some instances to maintain composure, and even have some deep and caring conversations, and even write a few meaningful poems that related to what was going on, there were times when the negative force took over and worked its way into and through my posts. Of course, there were also times that I LOL finding the acting out to be hilarious and ridiculous, where laughter was the only option, knowing that storms never last, and that it would eventually calm and pass, leaving us to sort through the wreckage. I was never really over taken by anger, but a few times I found myself very frustrated and I felt powerless in the face of what I saw as childish and even out of control behavior from my fellow gaians, who otherwise are very caring and loving beings.
Later, after stepping away for a second time, I began to feel a longing for balance and harmony to be restored on Gaia. I also began to think of how hurt those that were involved must have been for it to rupture and explode in the way that it did. I begin finally to think towards solutions as a mellowing came over me and I was filled with gratitude for Gaia and the friends and connections that I have made here.
We are all human. We are all working on issues at deeper levels, and we all need to remember that no matter what, we are in this together.
May all of us think on these things as the New Year approaches, and realize that more so than not, all of us here want the best for ourselves and each other. May our perspectives and understanding continue to open and deepen. May we always try to look through each others eyes, being true to our own truths, but respecting each others right to have their own as well.
Our life path is our very journey of awakening. May we learn to dance it in joy. When we must work through issues, as we will from time to time, let us remember to support each other as much as we can with integrity, truth and grace.
Much love in joy for all of Gaia in the New Year...
May we always greet with gratitude and co-create a new dawn and a new day, filled with peace, harmony, and joy of being...
p.s. and no, my New Years Resolution is NOT to quit using the F word...gol*
