It just wasn't completely possible. I think the image from last week that I have not been able to un-see, the bell I haven't been able to un-ring, was the picture of wheelchair-bound men and women being hauled out of the U.S. Capitol. The symbolism of this was just so painful. I've always thought that the Achilles heel of our pursuit of "life, liberty and happiness" is its focus on individual, not community, fulfilment, our focus on individual, not community, "wealth" (the commonwealth or common "weal"). Many of us are watching with jaw-dropping incredulity as norms of decency and "do unto others" seem to erode before our very eyes.
When you believe in the law of attraction, you know that the only pipeline to "manifestation" that you can control is your own. So it's a bit of a tricky thing. That very law can appear to bring enormous "success" to those who can't love, those who just simply cannot care what happens to anyone else. Indeed, I suspect their success sometimes comes more easily because they may not factor others into their equations. Those of us who come to the law of attraction from a place of love (or try our best to) dearly want each human to experience peace, health and happiness, but we understand it is impossible for us to directly create others' realities. I guess it boils down to the simple question I have asked before: where is the love? When I experience "blue skies," do I genuinely wish those blue skies for the rest of humanity? Am I on this journey to love more and create a more love-filled world? Or would I be willing to haul anyone out to the curb, for any reason, and drop them there? (It's easy to say the answer is "no" to that last question. But perhaps it is one of those questions we need to ask ourselves every single day.) Are others sharing their love?
The blue skies seem to be "hanging in there" on this Monday morning. May they do so where you are too.
