A Vision Resurfaced

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     The truth is that I was taking the time to think that sometimes we have to remind ourselves why we ever started in the first place. For me sharing my thoughts online was a new beginning, because I wanted my voice to be heard, and being able to write, publish, and post online was an easy way to have my voice heard. Because I believe that the voice is our soul, it's our souls way of revealing itself to the world. People may see you through your physical appearance, but it is the voice, what we make from within, the soul that reveals itself in the form of our voice, and our creations, that also contributes to our very existence. Now you may wonder where is my evidence? Well isn't it amazing that there are things that even science cannot prove. Maybe there will be a day when this is proven as well.  

     This is the mystery of creation. Human beings will create, but there is also a limitation to this creation, because it cannot be equated to that of a higher being, or power, or as we can call - God. The very fact that humans are able to re-produce, the mystery of this creation, and even the mysteries of death. So for me it was the idea of having my voice heard, a platform for my voice, writing that inspired me to be here. 

     Through this journey of writing from sharing life lessons, sometimes even reminders for myself, to sharing learning, practical tools, teachings, and thoughts about important topics. Through this avenue of sharing, I formulated a vision. A vision for peace. I envisioned that all human beings regardless of religion, faith, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, ability, (dis) ability, or any ism, could live in harmony in our World, our home Earth of beautiful lands.

     Of course this is an ideal vision, but it does not mean that it cannot be achieved. When we hear of the latest shootings, mass murders, natural disasters, and personal injuries, it is easy to loose hope, and think that there is no end to suffering. The first end to suffering is that which is within the self. We have to be brave and strong enough to again believe, and want to live, to continue the journey of life. We can think of me picking up this pen to put words on to paper. Even though I see, hear, witness, and with personal injury decide once again that there is hope, and that we must not loose hope, to create a vision to reach, achieve, and maintain the point that we desire. 

     This point or vision of working together with others whose points of view might be at the opposite end of the spectrum has to happen, even though it is difficult. Because wounds are there. History cannot be erased. But we can choose how we decide to shape the next chapter of life, or even how to shape societal shifts, and growth. 

     We can think about events close to home such as the Hurricanes in Houston, Texas, Florida, and the Las Vegas shootings. The issue of the DACA recipients, humanists, and non-profit organizations who are fighting for these populations. These are serious wounds and topics that require debate, thought, and action, such as the Clean Dream Act. 

     We can also think of these thoughts from a world view lens. For example: the topic of refugees, or what we could call the refugee manufacturing, or even genocide. We hear of Syria, Myanmar, Rohingya, parts of Africa, Yemen, and even populations fleeing from Europe, and South America, to cross the borders into America. These humanitarian crisis are not going to go away. In fact they are probably going to get worse if nothing is done to curb, or help refugee populations. 

     We do know that the topic of refugees is very political, and must understand how politics and power play a role in the manufacture of refugees and genocides. What we must also recognize is that for issues like the humanitarian crisis that are taking place around the world, is that leaders or intertwined powers are at play, that result in humanitarian disasters. These leaders or power structures must begin to work together, even if they were or are at odds with each other. 

     If we are to envision a better life for the Worlds refugee populations or any populations that is suffering, then leaders must engage with leaders or power structures of difference. We must engage with one another, to put people first, and not the the ego which is driven by wealth and power. In simplistic terms this idea can be related to me: once again to put pen to paper, even though there have been deep wounds, or personal injury.
