Into The Wind



Nine years ago I remember sitting and watching as the world, without warning, seemed to have stopped in its tracks. Everyone was trying to make sense of the tragedy which has come to be known as 9-11. In a split second the world did not seem as safe. Everywhere you looked there seemed to be police - soldiers standing guard, especially from my vantage point at one of the world's international airports where suddenly no one seemed safe and everyone was a suspect just waiting to be checked through a growing line of chaos and fears not knowing what to expect around the next unattended bag. The fear was real and people were glued to the tv screens for any new news which might bring some sense of calm to the situation. None came. It was as if nature herself had lent a deathblow to the world of sanity and calm. It was as if the entire world was slowly spinning out of control. And yet here we are nine years later...
What have we learned? Where do we stand? Is it ok to look out of our hiding place and feel safe; knowing that we have survived the biggest event in our lifetime to date? The experiences we call living, can help us to understand each other or drive us deeper into the well of unknowing and isolation. The ideas embodied in our minds with all of the emotional attachments we carry around can propel us in many directions. It's all depending on how we decide to accept or reject the truth which lies hidden within those life experiences.



That's The Way Love Goes...

Deep in the heart of humanity lies the desire to come full circle and realize all that we have lost in the process of becoming civilized humans - people with an education devoid of those things which we all once possessed and cherished. Things like honesty and true understanding. Things like the wisdom to know the difference between need and greed.

In all our modern training and skill sets developed for speed and ease of living - we have ignored the disciplines of caring and respect. Of course these words and all that they convey have also lost much of their true meaning and intent.

The old ways of the wise ones has been distorted in such a way that even their memories are tainted by the modern spin which is woven into the stories we tell of the not so distant past. The past which had so much spirit and genuine love to share.

Yes, there have always been problems. There have always been those who would stand in defiance of all that is right and good. There have always been those who would trouble the waters. Even so, the modern departure from the ways imbedded in the very fabric of nature - the calm before the storm - the wind rustling in the grass, whirling around our head letting us know that the rain is coming; has left us shattered. Shattered pieces of broken clay - people without a true spirit. Without a vision which only comes from the essence of knowing the True Way.

If only we knew how to take back the time. The time lost. The times we would have, could have, should have...

Yet deep in our inner being there lies the will, the desire to rise again. To rise above the hurt and pain we dish out in anger and despair. To rise above the broken path we walk - in this modern, intellectual, artificial creation we call living. Take back the old ways - align ourselves with the true way of being human. Wake to the realization that life is only one go - around. One chance to get it right. Realize that in this moment we have the will - the desire and the strength of mind to take it all back, and find our true destiny. Our destiny which calls us to accept our Divine right to be truly human. Truly free... Truly in love.
