Ever let yourself open up to the pain of the world?
I cant remember quite who it was who said it, perhaps it was Che Geuvara, but it goes something like this: "To be a revolutionary one must not turn away from the pain of the world."
i did this today.
completely.
it was unbarable. i could not let it in for more than mere minutes. overwhelming to the extreme.
just try, for even a second to allow the pain of the whole world in. not the human inhabitants, not all the life living on the surface, but earth itself, including its inhabitants. the whole.
we are killing earth
and in doing so, we are killing ourselves.
this is something i am sure i used to do as a child all the time, but not knowing all the harm we have been causing, i could not fully comprehend what we have done. it is something i hope to do every day now that my personal problems arent too prevelant. what better way to create drive to push for change in the world than to allow myself to feel it, to have compassion for earth.
it certainly gives one far better understanding of (for example) native american culture. we all should really be looking for medicine for the world.
... I love you Earth!
