tending to your own village

I finally get it, really get why i have felt so irritated and annoyed and overwhelmed when i am out on the planet. And this was long before the mess that is 2021. 

I believe that we must all take a deep breath, stand up straight and look around our homes, neighborhoods and communities and see whats going on and where we can help. Sometimes, and most often our help is needed in our own backyard. 

I believe we can change the world if we focus on changing our own little lives and the lives of those around us for the better. In small everyday choices. 

I believe we cannot do it all. We cannot sit in constant worry and fear about whats happening in another part of the world. I believe it is horrific and devastating whats happening. Humans and natural occurrences alike. But i believe there is nothing we can do today to directly affect their change and betterment. Not a damn thing. 

I believe the power to change the world lies in changing ourselves and minding to our own affairs. That vibration alone will move us into a healthier and happier world. 

I believe if we keep down this road of disinformation overload we are going to destroy the human condition as we have come to know and cherish it. It will destroy us. It's already doing so. 

I believe we want to know everything but I also believe we are not meant to know everything. We do not have the capacity to intimately understand, decode, digest and make better all the wrongs and atrocities happening on planet earth today. 

People who live in blue zones - those places on earth untouched by technology and controlling government's - live longer, healthier and happier lives. Why? Because they are taking care of themselves and those in their communities. They are aware of whats going on in the world, they are not stupid. But they don't have the task of digesting it all, because there is no way in hell they could. 

I believe this is why we are all so sick, mentally, physically and spiritually. We were not made to handle all of it at once. We can barely digest our own meals anymore, how can we digest and make sense of the world as it is? Its impossible. And its killing us.
