Among the many ways we can distract ourselves from the truth about each present moment and the part we we play in it....

it is equally possible to be addicted to busyness itself.

Our cultural parameters that tell us we constantly need to be doing something
.. because if not we might be considered to be lazy or inefficient - somehow not playing our part properly. But...

There's just so much to be said for sitting and quietly breathing with attention and awareness focused inward....!

Wouldn't it be ironic to ultimately realize that doing nothing is in fact the most productive thing!

If you intend to recapitulate this past 12 months as an exercise in contemplation, that can be very helpful for growing awareness of your impact on your world.

A couple of thoughts from my own:

One , the fact that I am Able to do that without having my entire Consciousness preoccupied with war or Environmental degradation, is already a tremendous gift for which I am eternally grateful,

and with that comes an increasing sense of responsibility. It isn't enough just to Revel in my privilege, there must be things I can do - and there are!

I've chosen a handful of helpers to support. (Of course the needs of so many others are fully legitimate too, but I do what I can within my own responsibilities. Period.)

Perhaps more importantly though, the most effective way for me/ anyone to have a positive effect on the World At Large is to narrow our awareness down to the regular interactions that we have on any given day, week or month throughout the year.

It's those interactions - no matter whether emotionally impactful or benign - that become the "tone" of the world we live in.

Looked at another way, once we recognize that we constantly Are co-creating, that helps us regain a healthy curiosity about what kind of effect we're already having.

While it is true that none of us lives in a vacuum and is solely responsible for the world we inhabit, it is also true that we have more of an effect and impact than we are commonly taught.

Furthermore, it's only in that personal power where we really can make lasting changes. We can seldom influence the behavior and thinking of other people, except by example and communion.

The more awake we can be at any given time, the more authentic our response to the world around us can be.... and over time the less burdened we can become, and the lighter an emotional footprint we can have on the world around us.

Focusing Awareness on the part we play, taking responsibility for only our own actions, and making an effort to raise what we could call our vibrational quality, (particularly recognizing the toxic futility of nursing grudges) will automatically uplift our ripple effect on the world that we inhabit.

Making your own sphere of influence lighter, more full of the qualities you want to meet in the world around you, makes my world better. We are energetic beings, and energy travels in waves.

Consider your ripple effect. Actually Thank you! I believe we're connected because you do hold these intentions too. As Ram Dass said "we're all just walking each other home".

Never forget it's actually global work we're doing. No one knows where the ripples stop.

It's neither esoteric nor frivolous. It is true and important and a worthy Pursuit for any of us.

May 2024 be the year the world awakens together. Bodhisattva year!

Namaste,
💕🙏🫂🙏💕
