Let go of all that fear,
Dance naked in the rain,
Sing at the top of your lungs,
And let the children do the same.
This world, this life, this dream,
Is a gift,
A magical precious joke,
So, laugh with me at all that fear,
And give yourself a poke!
‘I’m Alive! I’m Alive! I’m Alive!’ Sing loud,
What a marvellous wondrous thing,
Remembering all the while,
That you are everything and nothing.

To be alive, is to be alive!
Too many stories exist, when the only story that matters is your life and how to best enjoy it while you have it! There are no second chances, for whether your life ends and is reborn in heaven, or reincarnated to this earth, or ceases and you become another form of stardust experiencing itself, whatever the outcome of your death, it can never be known, understood, nor predicted with accuracy.
Therefore, one must enable themselves to admit to what actually, truthfully, sincerely matters… LIFE. Just that one singular word should be welcomed as a new version of enough. What happens after death is for only God, the infinite, the absolute, to know, never us. We like guessing, and fighting over who may be correct, but God doesn’t want that, God gives life… and what we choose to do with that one and only life, MUST come to matter, as the world and all it is home to relies upon the outcomes of that endeavour…
Ethical manufacturing, ethical food cultivation and production, renewable forms of energy, time spent well and in harmony with this mother earth, as well as one another. No more standing and rising off the backs of the poorest on this earth, no more stealing of life to better the lives of the few, NO MORE, NO MORE, NO MORE! For heaven’s sake, just NO MORE!
This world is the gift we are blessed with to home us, and like your body needs tender, loving care, and to be fed well, rested, made healthy with kindness and thoughtfulness towards your actions, so too does the earth and the life within its all encompassing and life-giving energy. To remain ignorant of your part of the whole is fear-based living, and to simply pray for change instead of seeking that change is too passive a stance in life, as we are all turning cogs in this working and living machine called existence….
Coming to value and enjoy it all a bit more may very well be the key this massive family seeks, if only we would all open our hearts, not only our minds; we might be arriving towards an age wherein that becomes absolutely necessary anyway, so better we start now, hey?
