These Are Rich Times! Really!

Yeah, I’m from planet earth.

I know gas prices have sky-rocketed & the stock market has plummeted. Diabetes is on the rise. Real estate is taking a dive. War rages on while our natural resources are coming to an end. And this is just 30min worth of news.

So it looks bleak & feels even bleaker, but let me burst your pessimist bubble - there is more than a silver-lining here. There is a world rich with love, joy, peace, & abundance for all that is bubbling to erupt and it is your life lived anew that will be the solution – that IS the solution.

Up till now, we’ve collectively & somewhat unconsciously boogied our way to this scenario with our current thoughts, beliefs & resulting practices. This is the world that competition, power over others, “dog eat dog” & “every man for himself” thinking have resulted in. This is not shared for finger-wagging, blame sake, or for guilt – for those things serve no one and really, they’re no fun. It is simply shared as an observation that can point us to experiencing a richer, more intentional, connected way of being in the world together.

Like when you put that rich, gooey, stinky, nutritional pile of compost on your plants – that’s the rich time I’m talking about! So there’s a lot of &$%# going on. Good! So much #$%& that you ca
NOT ignore it. Good! It means that time is prime for us to change our groove, choose another tune, & dance to something better!

How, you ask?

Well it is not going to be dependent upon which dude is sitting in the White House. It is not going to be up to the news you watch, your neighbors, your boss, your family or even your God. This is the richest time ever because the pruning, the watering, the care is all about you & the thoughts, feelings, & beliefs that you hold about the world. It may sound airy fairy to you, but you can’t deny that every action you have ever taken or not taken, conscious or unconscious, has been driven by your underlying beliefs about the world, others & yourself.

What if when you stepped out your door in the morning you knew that life supported you, that there is enough for everyone, that love IS the answer, and that every stranger is a friend-in-the-making? Your day would be different – I promise you, and not because the things, people & circumstances of your day would change (although that could happen too), but because you experience it all so differently.

This is the start of a rich, new world & it starts with us being open to taking a different kind of step outside our door today – the kind of step that embraces the ideas of gratitude, wonder, love, & riches that surprise us at every corner. When we look for it, we will find it. This new world starts with a new you, a new me & it will take daily practice, courage to release those beliefs that don’t serve us anymore, and lots of laughter to lighten the feel of…the compost, shall we say.

ALL THIS & MORE
by Faith Riverar
Available on Maluhia ~ Everyday Peace

So convenient to believer
We are runningr
Out of time & out of mind
“The end is coming”

Hurry here & fluster therer
Threat level rising
“Not enough for us to share”
Man hope is dying

What if the choice lies in my hands alone & I decider
To see things differently and live from this…

CHORUS
I feel joyr
I feel goodr
I feel wonderfully full

I feel lover
I feel peacer
I feel all this…all

I feel strongr
I feel on
I feel bright as the sunr
I feel all this, all this, all this, baby & more
I’m so ready to believer
There is somethingr
More than what my mind receivesr
From the evening news

There’s a power in the windr
The sky & oceanr
I’m just starting to beginr
To notice

How big & wide is this life if I am brave enough to letr
It unfold without the doubt or drama

(chorus)

How big & wide is this life if we are brave enough to letr
It unfold with grace & gratefulness

(chorus)
