Star stuff
Sacred star stuff.

Everything is sacred. For at the depths of all is the essence of life that backs all things. Therefore, nothing falls outside the scope of the all-encompassing. There is not a place we go, not a person we talk to, not an event that occurs that is void of this divine energy.
All is sacred, yet as I reflect on my experience I realize how few things I view as sacred: that ignorant statement made by a politician, the destruction of sacred indigenous lands, the clear-cutting of forests, the racial inequities that swirl across the globe, even the person who cut me off in traffic.
Perhaps spiritual understanding is not bypassing these real experiences and covering them with a blanket of oneness. Perhaps instead it’s about seeing and realizing that collectively we can align with something deeper to alleviate the real suffering in the lives of billions of our and sisters and brothers on the planet.
Perhaps it is a deep understand that Mother Earth…GAIA…is the greatest temple there is, our bodies are products of this temple, and how we honor the sacred ground beneath us and the holy temple we move on each day is a gift we bestow to the creator. If Mother Earth…GAIA…connects us and the Sacred Spirit unites us, then what I do to myself, to the Earth or to another, I do unto all.
Maybe it is not about seeing sacredness everywhere but living my life every day in a sacred way.

‘Star stuff harvesting sunlight.’
October 3, 2020As our collective hearts continue to break in 2020 for so many reasons of sorrow, remembering, look up.
The sky calls to us. If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars. -Carl Sagan

The truth is doing us good.
The truth of the sunshine.
The truth of the rain.
The truth of the fresh air.
The truth of the wind in the trees.
These truths are always acceptable.
