When we are in crisis, it is hard to see a future. When we are looking forward we are not in the present moment. Yet, being in the moment sometimes comes with a deep desire to make a difference. When one burns with a fever that has to do with saving our beloved Mother Earth home, there is a need to go into the future with insight of how will we live in 200 years?
The truth is we do not know. But we can imagine it, we can dream it, and this is where I come in. Writers have always been visionaries. This writer is going to write her vision. Just saying so is a relief.
So what is happening on Mother Earth can be turned around. We can do it, and in 200 years, we will have a better place to live, I know it, feel it in my bones. Even though my bones will be long gone, we need to heal this planet through our loving acts and kindness to one another, not through another arms struggle or more violence. It simply is not sustainable to live this way. And besides, we are better than that. We are better than we can know. Always when there is crisis, economically, enviornmentally, there are those who scoot through the crack of the crisis to another world of something greater.
We can do it. We can have sustainable cities and towns, where people love their communities and work to produce the best we have to offer. We can live in harmony, setting aside and dealing with conflict resolutions and working out the challenges of this world.
This can happen. We can grow biologically diverse produce, we can produce seeds to be generated from those plants, to produce the best crops, at the same time, not altar their genetic code so that we are damaging the very fiber of foods for the health of all.
We can transcend the damage we have produced in the enviornment to restablish the Earth as sacred so that people are not wanting to hurt what they love.
It is time. We can do it. Where ever someone may be looking for something to do, jump right in, it is time to do it. It is time to work hard and make things happen.
There are enough organizations, enough charities, enough containers for the work to begin. Perhaps you are wanting to build a fish ladder, or a place for salmon to spawn in a river that is full of dams. There are organizations working on it. Perhaps you want to be fully healthy, and your struggles are with health. Perhaps you just want to develop a cure for this or that. Jump in. There are ways for you to do that too.
So whatever your heart desires, there is a way. Get yourself moving into that way for the good of everyone. Jump in. But don't be jumped into violence, don't buy it that this is the way the world is. That is a lie. People create those worlds and they can be uncreated. They can be dissasembled.
Time to recreate. Go for it, build something for the good of all the children.
Love your kids enough not to make this a way to live.
