There are events happening all around us that we don't notice. Small things, and bigger, splashier things, that we somehow miss. Sometimes we are simply to busy to stop and look, and sometimes we are on autopilot. We flash past and don't see.
This Spring, though, is a little different. The difficult, cold, icy winter we just endured has made us more aware of the signals that proclaim a change. I've noticed people are a little more excited about the first crocus this year. They are a bit more energized by the first semi-warm day; just a smidge happier than usual when the sun is out. Robins are greeted with sighs of appreciation.
We want to segue from that new habit of noticing signs of Spring into a larger awareness of events around our personal world, and around our global world. Look past the scary news broadcasts and into the smaller, brighter nooks that abound.
Increasing numbers of people are discovering that being kind to themselves translates to being kind to those they encounter during the day; and the inevitable ripple effect that ensues is wonderful to see and experience. I believe it will be the little things that save our planet. Small, grassroots gatherings and projects will galvanize more and more people into right action. When we move from love, with love, we can move mountains. One stone turns into a shovelful, which increases to a wheelbarrow then to an overflowing dump truck. Watch.
The flame from your candle illuminates the dark. Darkness cannot extinguish its light.
