Yesterday the world was moved by a school shooting. It amazed me how many people chose to feel anger, hatred, and fear. It amazes me more the people that chose to feel compassion, forgiveness, and peace. The news spread like wildfire. Media hunting for answers, picking apart one man's life for a simple understanding of his actions. Would it matter why? Would it bring peace to the wounded? Probably not. Professionals speaking out about the reasons a person's mental condition would cause such behavior. Few people, though a strong few, started a call for action. A call to shed light on our society as a whole. Who are we becoming?
I am one of the people that chose to feel compassion, forgiveness and peace for all individuals involved. I can only imagine the pain of the loss of a child or loved one. I can only imagine the pain suffered by the individual who chose to hurt others. I pray for forgiveness for those who chose to act out of fear and not love. I prayed in gratitude for those that were lost so that the rest of us may wake up and facilitate change towards love in this Great World.
On days like this I wonder if humanity will ever change. Will wars ever stop? Will peace ever fill our lives completely? It makes me sad and I don't understand how people can be so cruel. It doesn't seem fair.
I am one person, I can't change the world and make it a peaceful place overnight but I can contribute to the compassion, forgiveness, acceptance, and peace in this world. I can help be that beacon of Hope for others. I can help plant the seeds of joy and enlightenment. Only you can choose your path; to water the seeds... or not.
I am choosing a path of compassion, acceptance, peace, love, forgiveness, and hope. Not every day is blissful but the more I embrace these simple things the more I experience bliss.
I asked for Guidance today to help me better understand my purpose in this lifetime. They showed me that living with compassion and forgiveness is key to unity. My work with horses provides me the opportunities to heal my past traumas, find compassionate conversation with other humans, and find reverence and truth in nature to share with other humans. I feel humbled by their advice and insight.
I tend like things clear cut and understandable. Their messages seemed vague but at the same time so very clear to me. I was looking for a clear image of what I should do in my lifetime. They asked my why I didn't think that what I was doing was good enough. It is good enough! I am able to do everything they showed me through my work. My work perfectly suites me in order to live my purpose. What is work anyways? Well, my work is just me in Earth School I suppose. I am out there every day doing something I love, that brings me joy. I feel I am making a difference for horses and their humans. And everyday I have the choice to feel compassion and hold forgiveness in my heart. How awesome is that? I feel so blessed that horses are in my life every day to teach me and light the way for me.
