Thursday Thoughts

Hari OM

This week the news is filled with 'invasion' in many forms. 

Invasion of heat to the North American continent - and now to the UK and parts of Europe.

Invasion of water in the form of excess rain and floods bringing death and havoc in mid-Europe, in Chembur (Mumbai), and New Zealand. I am sure this is not all.

...Invasion via mobile phone...**

It is hard not to think, 'why not an invasion of compassion, an invasion of Love, an invasion of true community spirit, an invasion of trust..???'

Again it falls to those of us who ask these questions - nay make these pleas for humanitarianism - to not just wail to the wall (or screen). We must become the embodiment of that which we wish to see. Next time we catch ourselves looking down on someone, where for a moment our Love is lacking, when our spirit for communing withdraws or when we become judgemental, distrusting, or ourselves untrustworthy - in those moments which we all do have from time to time - let us remember to rise above our base nature and become the very thing. Let us be the change...
