Reminders That We Are a Part of Something Beautiful

The challenges we face are now increasing beyond what we have ever known before. They will continue to mount like a great flight of stairs as we walk up the path of Ascension. And as we climb, we can hold songs like this in our hearts, reminders of our Light during the dark moments. We will need the reminders. Reminders that we are a part of something beautiful.






Something Beautiful

By Alexi Murdoch

May the Grace of God be with you always, in your heart
May you know the truth inside you from the start
May you find the strength to know that you are a
part of something beautiful...

And I thought that I saw, a light Shine, I thought that I saw a light shine
Yes, I thought, that I saw, a light Shine; I think I see a light shine, now....

May the Grace of God be with you always, in your heart
May you know the truth inside you from the start
May you find the strength to know that you are a
Part of something beautiful...

May the Grace of God be with you always, in your heart
May you know the truth inside you from the start
May you find the strength to know that you are a
Part of something beautiful...

And I thought that I saw, a light Shine, I thought that I saw a light shine
Yes, I thought, that I saw, a light Shine; I thought that I saw a light shine
Yes, I thought, that I saw, a light Shine; I thought that I saw a light shine
Yes, I thought, that I saw, a light Shine; I thought that I saw a light shine
Yes, I thought, that I saw, a light Shine; I think I see a light shine....now

From the corner of my eye I thought I saw a light shine
From the corner of my eye I thought I saw a light shine

And I thought that I saw, a light shine, I thought that I saw, a light shine
Yes, I thought, that I saw, a light Shine; I thought I saw a light shine now
(From the corner of my eye I thought I saw a light shine
From the corner of my eye I thought I saw a light shine)
And I thought, than I saw, a light shine, I thought that I saw, a light shine
Yes, I thought, that I saw, a light Shine; I think i see a light shine now

May the Grace of God be with you always, in your heart
May you know the truth inside you from the start
May you find the strength to know that you are a
Part of something beautiful...

Each Voice Makes a Difference

Late last night I had in mind to write this morning about the myriad challenges the oil volcano raises for us. This morning I sit is stunned grief, outrage, and a sense of helplessness at the unprovoked murder of humanitarian activists flying the white flag by Israeli military forces in international waters.

How can I respond in any meaningful and powerful way? I am many miles from the White House and Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC. I've emailed the Obama administration with all the politeness I can muster, urging our government to condemn this terrorist attack on civilians transporting humanitarian aide. I've called a relative in Washington, DC, one who has for over 20 years protested for the rights of Palestinians, voicing that I am strongly there beside him in voice and spirit whenever he goes to protest outside the Israeli embassy or the White House. I've posted on Facebook in an effort to call attention away from meaningless Farmville activities and other shallow self preoccupations. Called the UN requesting the US ambassador the the UN vote for condemnation and a full inquiry. Emailed my representatives in Congress requesting condemnation of Israel and elimination of all military funding for Israel in the FY 2011 budget.

I ask myself, "Does voicing my outrage and calling for the end of the real "terrorist" assaults on the people of the world by the dark forces matter? Does it make any difference?"

If I'm to stand by what I know as truth in my heart, that our thoughts, our expressions, our actions make all the difference in the universe, then the answer is Yes. Each person speaking up adds to the collective voice of dissent against all the atrocities inflicted by the dark forces. My voice makes a difference. Your voice makes a difference. Collectively we do have the power to change the world. We are supported by all the Light Forces in the Universe. The people united will never be defeated.
