Into the Heart of Bali

What a tumultuous mess we are in. Yes, you, me, our world.
Most of us on this planet (our home) are confused, muddled, puzzled, mystified, unruly, anarchic, disorderly, and for some, lawless. Where in the name of all that is holy is the heart and soul of who we are as a species? We have been gifted with life on a blue planet that spins and gives us existence and still we are not satisfied or content. We quest for more. More money, more power, more control, more influence, more junk in our trunks, more stuff. We are a mess and have helped make an abyss of darkness on this heaven on earth-our Earth. There is only one Earth and because we have helped destroy it, tree by tree, city by city, person by person we are now looking at how we can find a home on Mars. What the hell?
Why not find the tools to clean up this home? First ourselves, then our environment and the kingdom of all the animals. Let us serve and assist one another. Gather and learn a new perspective of empowering one another and discover lifelong skills to grow, flourish and expand. We are in a dark night and it's time to shine some light. This is a time to feel the "awe of the raw," not with fear but with hope. What is the awe of the raw? It's the pain and discomfort that we are in which leaves us in so much anguish that we finally wake up and say, "I'm alive."
Now, let us stop resisting and start assisting.
