Remembering the Simple Things in Life
REMEMBERING THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE
The pace of this modern digital chaotic world has somehow sadly meant a sacrifice of our most basic human values and the simple, pleasurable things in life where the sweetness truly is. What has happened to us as human beings and as a human species? How and when did common sense become rare sense?
This is a big unending question I know, and we are gently being moved and guided to look inwards to find this answer and more daily. How is it that we have moved so far away from the basic sharing of kindness with another human or an animal? Where has the overall compassion and tenderness for another’s suffering gone to? Why are people so afraid to share deep vulnerability with another? How did respect for our elders and each other get forgotten by younger generations?
It’s a time of darker rainy days and less sunshine and it can be a hard time for some folks who are alone and feeling the hardships of this harsh world first hand. It is the responsibility of all of us to reach out to all of our brothers and sisters with an open heart, real compassion and tenderness to soothe the collective suffering and pain. It’s time for some self-responsibility, emotional honesty and sharing. It can help us to feel better to be honest. We are all traumatized this is sadly true, however when we share loving kindness and care, miracles happen and hearts can mend.
I feel moved to call us together energetically, as the greater Cowichan community, to surround and support those that are in need of extra goodness and love this season and at all times really. It’s also a time of rest, rejuvenation and reflection too on a year of adventures, gifts and lessons. May we be grateful for the simple and gentler human virtues as we move to a new year of exciting possibilities, opportunities and learning!
Let’s bring kindness, respect, appreciation, tenderness, reverence and compassion back into fashion this season and let’s share it everywhere! It’s certainly a gift worth sharing with each other again and again forever more. Remember who you are before the madness of the world. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Seasonal blessings to each and every one of you for personal peace, joy and remembrance of what’s true and real.
