| | I have an e-mail subscription to a column by Mark Morford who writes for the SF Gate. He has some amazing articles that are right to the point. And I love to read his sentences that go on forever. 
This past week he wrote an article about this being the new "Dark Age." He pointed out that no one is mentioning anything about the economy turning around, the budget getting better, the environment getting cleaner, ... no signs of "rebirth." We just appear to be in a sinkhole.
At the end of his article, Mark gave a wonderful suggestions for those of us feeling the darkness these days. There IS something we can do.
"So, you do what you have to do. You focus inward and work on the self and radiate as much love and open-hearted support as possible, grit your karmic teeth and hope you survive this dark house of mirrors without cancers or tumors or bloodshed or getting stabbed in the garden by a vicious teenage girl as you ignore the fact that in all of North America, from Mexico to Canada's Prince Edward Island, there exists only one state, province or territory that does not yet have a McDonald's. (Nunavut, in northern Canada, inhabited by the Inuits at a density of one person per 3,300 square miles). Small solace, indeed.
So you pray your ass off to a forgiving and ambisexual and dogma-free pantheistic feminine god and you digest the increasingly nasty headlines as best you can, ever seeking that pinpoint, that tiny speck of light way, way down, at the end of this rank and desperate tunnel. Do you see it? Is it even there? It's one of those things you just have to believe."
So...keep the love flowing! Radiate your inner joy. Let's bring the light back into this bleak world as best we can, even if it is only in our own little corner of the globe. |
