Honoring the Fall Equinox, Eid al Adha, Yom Kippur, Pope Francis, etc

Honoring the Fall Equinox, Eid al Adha, Yom Kippur, the United Nations General Assembly in NYC and a visit from Pope Francis to Cuba and the United States.

Beloveds---

Thank You For Your Concern, Collective Prayers and Courage to help build a Better World where All of us have the opportunity to prosper in good health, safety, and Love; with unlimited opportunity to live and dream and contribute our unique gifts. I Appreciate YOU!

 As we honor the Fall Equinox,  let us Honor Our  Muslim Earth Family who are fasting for  Eid al Adha,  and Our Jewish Earth Family who are fasting for Yom Kippur; as well as those of All Faith Traditions for We Are One Only In Love.   

This  is truly a time of Sacred time of reflection and atonement. Many Prayers for Peace and Diplomacy are being offered worldwide as Pope Francis who calls on the World to have more compassion, makes an historic visit to Cuba and the United States; and the United Nations General Assembly begins in NYC.

Recently I was feeling sad and thinking that my work as an ordinary citizen and spiritual peacemaker was insignificant.  A dear friend reminded me that our good actions, thoughts and prayers always do make a difference.  He also told me that alone we are not the change but instead we are the catalyst for change.  In my impatience, I had forgotten that real change, good change that is systemic and long-lasting takes a very, very long time.  And when we look at our existence as humans on Earth, this is true.  In fact, in our quest for material success, sometimes it appears that we have taken a several steps backwards.  

This is why I am asking that we take a  look at the current fearful reality that we have created so that we can move forward with a desire and a commitment to create a World with Cooperative, Sustainable Love where unlimited generations of Our Children can prosper with respect for each other, preserve and share the Earth's abundance, and live in safety with Joy.

Take a moment to still yourself.  Breathe Deeply Ten Times.  In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love. In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love. In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love.

Now let us open our hearts to Truth.  In Atlanta, Chicago, New York and across the United States, in South America,   throughout parts of Europe, Israel, Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan, Tibet and throughout many parts of Africa, Asia and Australia--virtually Everywhere on Earth---violence has become a part of the culture we impose on Our Children through entertainment media and improper use of technology.  

Violence is also used to control others, sometimes by law enforcement, the military, militia and terrorists--- many times for political gain, in greed, in despair and desperation, even in quests for Freedom!

 And yet violence never offers hope, compassion, healing, or forgiveness.  Only Courage, Education, Integrity, Mercy, Respect, Understanding, Wisdom and Love Offer Hope, Compassion, Forgiveness and Healing, As Bridges to Real Cooperation and Peace for Our Human Collective.

Please re-member to keep breathing.  In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love.  In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love.

We are often told by our politicians, leaders, diplomats and the media that there is a just cause for violence  and war.  They tell us that every nation, and human being has a right to defend themselves.  We share and spend billions in missiles, bombs, drones and guns. How many  innocents civilians--- elders, women, men and children, have had to flee their homes or been killed in disputes in their homes, walking the streets, visiting malls or riding buses, trains and airplanes across the World?  Too Many.  Far Too Many!

And why then is it that when soldiers come back from battle, we offer inadequate resources for healing of mind, body and spirit.  How many of those wounded veterans are suffering or homeless?   Too Many.  Far Too Many!  

When we know the Truth, we have a responsibility to use the moral compass of our hearts to act as Catalysts for Good Change through Education, Cooperation and Sincere Efforts to Bring and Be the Peace!!! 

The Truth is, we ourselves must stop hating, and killing in our minds and hearts!  We must insist that our leaders and politicians become true servant leaders and advocates of Equity, Compassion, Peace and Prosperity For ALL People; honoring All Faiths and Cultures!

And Yes, real change, good change that is systemic and long-lasting does takes a very, very long time.  The road is long, steep and sometime arduous.  It will not be easy but with patience and unselfish Love, we can each use our unique gifts and become Catalysts for Good Change.

Again, Breathe Deeply.   In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love.  In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love.

Today, let us humbly move forward with a desire and a commitment to create a World with Cooperative, Sustainable Love where unlimited generations of Our Children can prosper with respect for each other, preserve and share the Earth's abundance, and live in safety with Joy. 

Re-Member...Peace Is Possible through Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness, Integrity, Kindness, Mercy, Respect, Understanding and Love! 

Thank You For Your Concern, Collective Prayers and Courage to help build a Better World! We Are One Only In Love!

Always, Melony
