The Balance of Life

I see the Wall Street protests and grass roots protests in other parts of the world as the pendulum swing that always occurs when there is an imbalance of power. The American and French Revolutions are examples of this from history.

And when the pendulum swings, there is always messiness in the midst of the change. The important thing to focus on, however, is not the messiness, but rather the fact that life is always seeking balance. In the movie Avatar, when Jake is going to ask Eywa for help in the upcoming battle, Neytiri replies that Eywa doesn’t take sides, that She always preserves the balance of life.

If life is trustable, and I believe it is, then we can trust that the balance of life is being restored in and through these protests and in Nature, whether we can see it or not.  And we are called to respond in whatever way we feel guided – whether by supporting the protests or opposing them, working to preserve the environment or supporting other causes that feel more important to you at this time, or perhaps you are called to hold in inner silence the consciousness of harmony and order being re-established throughout the world.  However you feel called to respond, know that you are an integral part of life’s ongoing process of preserving balance.

“The adventure of love is calling us on a hero’s journey
……to walk the path of the heart,
braving vulnerability for connection,
exchanging fear for insight,
risking change for vision.
…..A world where friendship flows from the eyes of strangers,
and every hand is held with love.”
