"If there is light in the soul there will be beauty in the person, if there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house, if there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation, if there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world." A Chinese Proverb
As I look through my eyes at the world past my nose... I see people desperate for community. We have become fractured into all these separate little groups that divide us like poor, hungry, old, fat, rich, elite, republican, democrat, misogynist, sexist, male, African American, Asian, Jewish, White, Middle Eastern, Christian, Muslim, expletive, you name it. Just the act of labeling each other dooms us to failure from the start. We are all human at the end of the day and we are all flawed in our own separate ways. We each have a separate mind, body, and soul. That is what truly makes us all human and should unite us.
Our souls seem broken as people and there for the soul of our country is also broken. However, I do see a glimmer of light in each and every person I've talked to recently. This glimmer of light is equal to untold amounts of untapt human potential. Which we can only realize when we have each others support and love for our selves.
Think about your current home life situation. Does your family or loved ones really know you, love you, support you, appreciate you, no matter what? Even if and when you fall short of their personal goals and aspirations for you? They should. This is what we call unconditional love. This love should be extended in turn to our neighbors, then like minded citizens, and express it's self in concentric circles forever outwards like ripples in a pond. Changing our cities, counties, states, and country creating a new world in the process.
A community is defined by Webster's as a group of people with common interests living in the same geographic area. Today that isn't quiet true. We have the internet and it can connect us all instantly. A community to me is a group that helps us become our authentic selves. It embraces us and our individuality, a place to share information, a place where we share and acquire knowledge, a place where we share and acquire wealth, a place where you feel less alone, a place you never want to leave, because you feel loved and home. A family.
I have recently asked all of you to begin a journey with me together. There is no hidden agenda here. I've been one hundred percent open, honest, and genuine, and I demand you are with me too. I will be calling our little social experiment silent dawn and it's soul purpose is to create a new world. One your very familiar with. Heaven.
I've asked everyone to reveal themselves to each other. Think of them as angels or allies. They will help you on your journey individually. Now you know your not alone. We do not need to be violent to get our points across or go out of our ways to get what we want. All you need to do is get engaged in the conversation, take action when necessary, and be mindful of the next opportunity arriving and knocking on your door. Focus on what you want, not what you don't want. I'll be right there with you in spirit. We all will. 11:11
