As I boarded the subway Tuesday morning - I was hit with a wave of sadness, a wave of desperation, a wave...of separation. I had a smile on my face as I do every morning, but as I looked around, everyone was on their smartphones, ipads. I thought, how funny...for how "connected" everyone is ....they are totally disconnected.
There is no light in anyone, all the sadness I see in the young people, all the burdens I see in the older folks...and all the regrets coming out of everyone, just hurts my heart.
Tomorrow they say is the end of the world...it is not the end, but the beginning, the beginning starts with you. Don't waste time being sad, angry, hurt, spiteful or depressed...take that first step in caring for yourself and your needs, once you can love and truly respect your body, mind and soul - you can extend that love and respect to others. Everything will being to turn, you will no longer be alone - or hide behind the past or fear the future...you will be free to live in this moment.
This moment is all we have, this day is a blessing, and you deserve to shine. Take that first step, remember where you came from, how far you have come, and who you are...take that and first step, smile that first smile from within ...hug someone, be here, now.
We are one planet, one human race and one love ...being to share and love..the world needs us to, God needs us to...I want for you, what I have come to learn and see...the light of love is a beauty to behold in yourself, but a masterpiece when you behold it in others.
XOXO
