Our Creations

As we look out into the world, it’s so easy to lament the loss of things we thought we had. For example, I thought we had conquered racism. No, not every single bit of it, but I saw us living peacefully together as one, no longer mired in the horrors that I once saw reported in the news and depicted in movies on the screen. I only knew of it, never was witness to any violent behavior that we would characterize as racism. The closest I came was in hearing people refer to others in unappealing ways, mostly due to their character and not their race alone.

So I keep going back, in my mind, to what is this injustice here to reflect back to us about what are we doing to ourselves for ourselves. Because I am of the belief that things happen for us not to us, I keep considering the message.

To me, COVID’s message has something to do with our separation, our division, we need to stay “distant.” Well, isn’t that what got us there in the first place?

The more we insist on our division, separation from one another, the more we consider our differences rather than our oneness, being separated is what we will have. It’s not far-fetched to draw these connections and conclusions. It makes total sense. It’s like the universe is saying to us, okay, so you’re separate, then being socially distant and cut off from the opportunity to connect intimately with conversation, sharing a meal, and celebrating holidays and joyous occasions won’t be a problem! It’s what you want, isn’t it? But that’s what was evident in your thoughts and actions!

Change our thoughts and we change the world! What world do you want to live in, the one guided by Love or Fear?
