Too Much
Do you feel bombarded from every direction? You are not alone. Technology tethered us to phones, television, social media, internet, podcasts, radios, books and newspapers. Depression runs rampant as negative news assaults our self-worth and hope for the future. Like moths to a flame, we are drawn to that which is destroying us.
In simpler times, Madison Avenue influenced our buying, but we could depend on the major television and radio networks for truth. Today, there are many rogue news outlets that pedal propaganda. Lies and half-truths seep into our beliefs. Like sponges, we adopt fantasy as reality, because we hear it or see it in print.
We must become aware of manipulation, shield from overstimulation and listen for our own truth with loving, kind and open hearts. Rise from division to unity. Humanity is counting on us.
Self-Care
Self-care is not selfish. When exhausted from responsibilities, resentment brews beneath a thin veneer. Instead of turning to anti-depressants, alcohol or illegal drugs, take time for self-care. It is Win/Win for your loved ones and you.
- Be in the moment. Give yourself a few minutes each day to be, not think.
- Take a break from stress. A five-minute walk can change perspective.
- Treat yourself to simple comforts. You deserve it.
- Play. Connect with your inner child and have fun.
- Dare to Dream. Everything man-made was once someone’s dream.
Light
Light shined into corners dark
Watch the guilty scatter
Hidden from the naked eye
Ugly deeds uncovered
Empathy, integrity
Honor, truth, compassion
Restoration needed now
Posterity at risk
Shut Off the Media
Look at us, floating in space, no strings attached.
What keeps us from falling into the abyss?
The mystical power of what we cannot see and do not understand.
Shut down the media and go within!
Think for yourself.
We are all equipped with a soul to guide us.
Shut off the noise from those who want to influence and control you.
Each of us has a guidance system for truth and love.
Use it!
The animal and plant kingdoms know what to do.
Humans flounder!
Kick greed to the curb. There is abundance for all.
No one is above another.
Show compassion for fellow man, animals and the environment.
Planet resources are for all.
We are one!
Unite!
What Lenses Do You Use?
What lenses do you use to view the World?
Are they scratched and dirty, seeing only the ugly?
Or are they clear to view the big picture,
Including those who serve humanity?
Illness, poverty and injustice plague our planet.
Beauty, kindness and service abound
The rapid downward spiral of negativity leads to the sewer
Lifting up the broken takes co-operation and strength
Your choice whether to curl up in a fear-based fetal position
Or strive to improve the Earth with a loving and kind heart
Weather the Storm
Be like the tree
Standing tall
Weathers assault
Nothing feared
Branches, winds sway
Stormy days
Rooted self-love
Trunk stays strong
Chaos surrounds
Panic reigns
Bend with the gale
History
Turn the Page
