What’s Going on Here Anyway?
A Few Reminders
This blog post is also available on my Facebook page to make sharing it with friends and family easy for you to do.
We just
Are
Simply
Not
In
Charge.
There are
Surely
Things
For us
To
Do.
Lots
Of
Them.
Actions
For us
To take.
Many
Of
Them.
Words
For us
To
Say,
A
Zillion
Of
Them.
AND
We
Are not
Not
In charge.
Take
action.
Let go
Of
The
Outcome.
~~~
We have
The most
Extraordinary
Of
Partners.
That’s the
Truth of it.
A partner
Bigger
Than
All.
It’s just
Super-easy,
GODDAMN
AND
RIDICULOUSLY
Easy
To
Forget.
And
To
Think
We
Are
Running
The
Show.
We
Are
Not.
Have you
Noticed?

Here’s a powerful reminder from Snatam Kaur, singer, songwriter, and peace activist:
~~~
Snatam’s slightly shortened lyrics:
It’s by thy grace
That I feel
It’s by thy grace that I feel
It’s by thy grace that I feel your holy name
Someday the day shall come
When all the glory shall be thine
People will say, “It is yours”
And I shall deny, not mine
Chorus
Allah, Jehova, Rama, Sa Ta Na Ma
Allah, Jehova, Rama, Sa Ta Na Ma
Allah, Jehova, Rama, Sa Ta Na Ma
Allah, Jehova, Rama, Sa Ta Na Ma
Allah, Jehova, Rama, Sa Ta Na Ma
Allah, Jehova, Rama, Sa Ta Na Ma
Allah, Jehova, Rama, Sa Ta Na Ma
Allah, Jehova, Rama, Sa Ta Na Ma
Peace to all
Life to all
Love to all
Peace to all
Life to all
Love to all
Peace to all
Life to all
Love to all
Peace to all
Life to all
Love to all
Your holy name
Your holy name
Your holy name
Your holy name
Your holy name will carry us (peace to all)
Life to all (Your holy name)
Love to all (will carry us)
Your holy name (peace to all)
Life to all (Your holy name)
Love to all (will carry us)
Your holy name (peace to all)
Life to all (Your holy name)
Love to all
Your holy name (peace to all)
Life to all (Your holy name)
Love to all
Your holy name will carry us (peace to all)
Life to all (Your holy name)
Love to all (will carry us)
Your holy name (peace to all)
Life to all (Your holy name)
Love to all (will carry us)”

Here’s Leonard Cohen and the Webb Sisters, from their London concert, taking this message more deeply into our hearts.
Nothing more needs to be expressed besides this:
~~~
I believe that we are not alone.
I believe that there is a Power.
A Force.
An energy.
Something
With whom
We
Partner.
Our practices
Help
Us
In
Creating
Right-sized
Relationship
With this Energy.
What do you think?
Agree?
Not?
Victories?
Challenges?

Dear Friends,
All blessings—
To all—
May our work together
Benefit
All
Beings.
