More Than Just Survival…
By Visionkeeper
As I talk to people and watch people these days I have
noticed a sort of hazy window between them and their world. Their eyes reflect
it because they are mostly blank, no spark or twinkle dancing about. Their
shoulders droop downward and often their head will droop down as well. There
seems to be little excitement in them and they all look tired. These are people
who are surviving, NOT living fully their lives. They scrape by each month paying
bills if they are lucky, they put food on their table if they are lucky, they
often go without in order to provide what is needed for others. There is a lack
of laughter and joy in their voices because they are consumed with just
‘getting by’ and not having joy in their life.
Now of course this is a generalization I’m speaking about as
I am certain there are other people in the world who daily interact with their lives on a happy
note, but a great many do not and this is to whom I am speaking! This to me is
unacceptable. How have we accepted coming here to earth and being forced to
live our lives under certain rules and most often for someone else’s agenda? We
are not living OUR lives, and we should be. I long for us all to remember why
we are here and to embrace those reasons. If we could paint our emotions and
feelings and desires in colors and let
them bounce about in the air freely, imagine the painting we would see. Layers upon layers of darker
colors with just small splashes of bright, vibrant ones thrown in here and
there.
There would be lots of black for the anguish and
hopelessness so many people are feeling. There would be lots of dark brown for
the ever-growing frustration and lack of enlightenment we are experiencing and
bright red for the anger that seems to rage endlessly, being perpetuated by
inequality and unfairness. We would see dark red for our pain as it continues
to bleed the life out of us. So many don’t see a way to end the misery being
inflicted on them. Sadly we would see lots of blue-gray for the fear that seems
to be permeating the planet, basically fear of new ideas and change.
Unfortunately the cosmos would be thick with lemon green symbolizing the lies
that we find ourselves drowning in. There would be splashes of brighter colors
of course that represent our good ways of thinking, but my point is this. The
picture painted overall would be a very dark one, heavy and not vibrant. Is it
not time to paint ourselves a new masterpiece of who we are and make it truly
beautiful?
We are all artists of sorts, we all have imaginations, we
all are blessed with creativity, but are we using these traits to the best of
their ability? I think not. They have been depleted and washed out by our
day-to-day need for survival and our laziness so many seem afflicted by, for
not exercising our brains and thinking for ourselves. At the moment our
Government and all of its laws are painting our masterpiece and we are all just
watching what portrait is being created. A dark, non-vibrant, uninspiring painting.
Well screw that! Let’s make sure we paint our own masterpiece and make it
bright and uplifting and pleasing to the eye and our hearts. The world’s
masterpiece is not theirs to paint, it is ours! We are the new world artists
and its time to pick up our brushes and paint!
Blessings to us all,
