I See a Peaceful Planet. Hopefully It Will Come About Soon.
I Believe Those Who Have Lived Many Years Can Help This Peaceful Planet Develop
I live near the UN and each year when the United Nations General Assembly has it’s seven day meeting and certain street crossings are blocked off and there are many police watching – like today – when I saw what appeared to be hundreds of Protesting Marchers shouting as they paraded up and down the sidewalk on Second Avenue from about 40th Street to 47th Street – I realize it doesn’t have to remain this way. I believe we can create peace and love on our planet.
I was simply walking up to the “The Health Nuts”, the health food store at which I purchase certain products I use. I value this store and find the workers there to be very helpful. I also feel that way when I’m in the Gristedes I do my weekly food shopping in. I’m not saying this to advertise. I’m saying this to let you know I feel secure that I won’t need to go on a rampage to stay alive. Well…every once in awhile I catch myself praying that I’ll have enough to be able to buy my food for the rest of my life. Now that I’m approaching 80, I find myself having more faith in the planet’s ability to care for me. I’m so glad I did the research that led me to be able to restore my health and I’m glad I was able to get the book I wrote about my process published. I thank Balboa Press for doing such a great job of producing it.
I admit that I do feel that I need to cut down some of the activities I take part in all the time because I need to be sure that I’ll have enough finances to carry me through several more years of life. While this doesn’t make me jump up and down with joy – I don’t feel that there are people who want to steal what I have so they can live well. Well…there may be people who would like to do this. However, I’m careful about what I do with funds and with whom and where I keep what I do have and I’m quite sure I’ll be able to live for several more years, as, I believe, our creator intended me to.
Won’t it be wonderful when (and I do believe that “when” will come) people will all realize that this planet can make enough for everyone and we don’t have to take it from the “other guy”. Now that I’m approaching 80 years of having lived I see that I (we) can “have” enough without “fighting” for it. When we can relax and know that working (maybe we need a new word, so people don’t look at it as a hardship…work has come to mean something not totally positive) doing what’s needed to live comfortably we can all be happy with each other. It wouldn’t matter what color hair or skin, etc. we have. With all the communication tools humankind has brought about – we’ll all speak the same language.
The one thing I’m praying happens within the time of my lifespan is that we’ll all be creating together and enjoying each other.
What I see and hear in the movements and voices of the protesters is that we need to educate the frightened people on the planet and open there minds to the reality that we can each do what we love to do and were created to do and all will benefit.
I have a feeling that people who have lived longer, might be the best teachers to help Earth become One Community made up of people who are each doing what they were born to do.
It would be wonderful if our brains would develop to the point at which each of us wouldn’t need the idea of “competing” to prove we were contributing to our planet. We’d know that each of us does contribute!
I believe I posted a similar blog last year. I still see an Earth without unrest as a possibility. I hope it doesn’t take millions of years to come about.
