The New Earth

New Earth Talks
There is a fabulous PBS series called  Earth- A New Wild. Dr. Sanjayan, a conservation scientist, explores 29 countries and describes how we are already healing our planet. He adds humans into the equation and  shows the ways we have begun working cooperatively with nature.   Yes we have been the problem and yes we can be the solution. The earth is sustainable and "resourceable" if we give it a chance.

 New Frog Cup
This is a follow up to the the most recent post. How do we create new stories that are true stories? We are good at creating false stories that we would like to be true but it is challenging to create an authentic new story.

New Stories or the Same Old Stuff

Red/Blue Bird of Happiness
I wonder if we have  a permanent set of dark colored glasses on when we view our lives. We often lead with the negative things that we know about ourselves instead of the happier and more upbeat events. For example, I am an alcoholic, I am a cancer survivor,  or I am an abuse survivor. These are very important but they don't resonate with joy.

What do we do when everything falls apart?

Magick
We are moving into new ways of living. We cannot even pretend any more that things are working. Everywhere, we look we see change.  So if things need to change and the changes have not come in yet, what do we do in the meantime. We sit with ourselves and ask what is the next small step?
The next small step might be to take a nap. It might be to eat chocolate instead of broccoli.

Living in a new World

expanded awareness
It is certainly challenging to speak about things that have no words . It is challenging to feel things that we have not been given permission to talk about.  We have all experienced  so many miracles. We understand them by saying that it was simply luck or hard work. Perhaps it is so much more than that.........
