Awakening

People sometimes think of "spiritual awakenings" as something to make them feel good.  If it is all about you, it is hardly an awakening.  Spiritual awakenings are for making connections with others and the natural world in ways that are helpful to the other.  It is a way of being of service, of being the solution to pain, stress, darkness, and it comes from your heart.  And then you will feel good in the effort.  The results of course are not up to you.  Even God is not responsible for the results.  I say God loves everybody and creation, but look what a mess is turning up!  But God keeps loving, and from time to time someone awakens and becomes a part of the solution.  Today, let it be you and me.
