“What is happening to our economy?”
“Our country?”
“Our youth?”
“Our world”?
ALL the attention paid to chaos…
Upheaval…
Change….
It’s as though the world’s gone mad.
Well, it has …..
So to speak.
We are in the midst of great change. It’s called evolution. We were never meant to remain cavemen, and we are not meant to remain in the present , or recent past state either.
Throughout history, the greatest change has occurred following the greatest catastrophes.
I don’t think we’re in the midst of catastrophe. I think , as a people, we are being called to evolve….and as is the case with evolution, chaos always precedes Creation.
I draw this analogy, for anyone who has played cards, from the time they were children, to the present:
We started out playing “Go Fish”, or maybe “War”. Then we’d get bored, and would probably end up playing “52 Pick-Up”. By the time we completed the task of picking up all 52 cards, we were really bored, so we put the cards away in a drawer and forgot about them and went on to something else.
Before long, we again became bored with the “something else” as well…..the status quo…so decided to return to the proverbial drawer containing the proverbial deck of cards.
We took them out, but before we could decide what game we wanted to play with them…because after all we are older now, and “Go Fish” and “War” are no longer appealing. We need something a bit more challenging, right?
Ok, but what’s the first thing we do? We shuffle the cards. Who doesn’t shuffle the cards before they commence playing with them?
Once shuffled (and oh, except for those Vegas dealers, we can make such a mess just in the act of shuffling), the cards start to fall into place.
That’s when we begin to create a pattern of play. We call it a game. We get ourselves organized……play out a hand or two….then….when we get bored again, we put the cards away for another day—to shuffle and start all over again…..say, maybe 20+,000 years from now.
That’s all we’re doing. We’re just in the process of shuffling the cards. We’ll be fine. As long as we remember that we are the ones doing the shuffling, and we are the ones playing the game, making the rules as we go. Don’t like the game? Change it. Humanity’s been doing it from the beginning of time. Nature calls it evolution. Let’s just get on with it and quit fighting over the cards. The sooner we finish shuffling, the sooner we can start holding a great hand again. Keep your eye on the prize; don’t get caught up in the shuffle…..
It may not seem as though this has much to do with the holistic lifestyle, but that’s because you can’t see my hand.
It all makes sense to me. It’s GOT to make sense to you………
