United As Humans
Being a day of remembrance, my mind has been in over
drive. I have been thinking of this day,
13 years ago and the moment I saw the first plane hit the World Trade
Center. I sat there in disbelief,
believing for a moment the news was showing us a trailer for a new movie. It did not take me long to realize this was
REAL. From that moment on my life
changed, as I know many others have as well.
Reflecting on us as humans, I began thinking of seeing us
from the outside. What if we were being
watched? What if we really were someone’s
science project? What if there is a god
of some sort and this god is wanting to see what we do with our Earth and each
other? What if there was an E.T. out
there watching us? What would they all
think? How would they feel watching us
destroy, mangle and hurt one another?
I am sure someone else has asked all of these questions, if
not more. However, the reality of it all
really hit me today. We can be awful to
each other. Watching the news makes me
cringe and fear for my children. I do
not want to be that person who pretends the world is full of only good deeds
and empathetic humans. However, sometimes
burying my head in the sand and acting like my little life bubble is reality
sounds like the best idea ever.
Here’s the thing… I have seen humans do some amazing things. I have been a part of these events, sometimes
I have even been the one doing them all on my lonesome, but for the most part I
have observed the amazing actions of humans.
I know we have it in us. I know
we can let go of our ego and transcend to a more eloquent being. I have seen it not only on TV and the
internet, but I have seen it in real life.
We are capable of some pretty fantastic movements and evolving into a
much higher state of being.
No matter what a person’s belief, whether religious,
agnostic, Wiccan, atheist, new age, or whatever it may be, there is a higher
state of being. Whether you believe it
is your soul, your connection to god or just a state of mind, we all have it in
us. We continue to divide each other, by
nations, by ethnic group, by gender, by financial status, by religion or lack
of, etc. etc. etc. Why? Why do we struggle to see ourselves as one
race? We are humans. We are all made of tissue and blood. We all breathe the same air. We share so much, but for some strange reason
we divide ourselves.
We have the ability to be united as humans, as people living
on this Earth. We are capable of creating
an amazing world. As I look out and see
my life, I can only hope I can make an impactful and positive difference in
this world. Whatever that may be… I finally understand John Lennon’s,
Imagine. So I leave you with this. Namaste friends ;)
