Urgent Message?

Be Still

For your consideration…..

First you should know that I got this message early this morning. Secondly, you should know that after I get a message and deliver it, I do not remember it. So when I got this message this morning with the same song playing, I decided to hold off because it seems like we just were given this message. Certainly, we were given this song.

So I went to my Peanut’s swim meet. I came back and went back into meditation. Still the message is the same. But I was given a couple of examples to help me understand why.

Yesterday was a tough day for our nation with the Colorado tragedy. You could not get away from it. It is easy to get caught up in all of the media hype. It is easy to get pulled in because of the empathy we have for the unimaginable pain so many are feeling. But is that where we should be? Is that where we can have impact?

One of the victim’s brother gave a statement that in essence said, “I do not want this to be like other tragedies where everyone knows the suspect’s name and no one remembers the victims. So I will never utter his name.”

He is right. Where our attention goes so does our energy. Do you really want your energy tied up with this horrible event to a man you can not relate to?

Here is another example we were given. Both political parties suspended the “attack ads” to help the nation heal. Let’s take a step back. If you know that “attack ads” aren’t good for us, why do we ever have them? Why drain our energy with them?

So today. We are reminded, yet again, but with more urgency. Our answers, our solutions, our peace, our love, our Guidance is in the stillness. All that hype is just static that drowns out our authentic voices. In the stillness we can hear our heart and our truth.

We can have the biggest impact in the stillness. Bring your attention to the silence of stillness. Feel your energy follow. Now send healing loving energy to all impacted by this situation.

That is the HOPE. And so it is. And here again is the song we are being given.

“Learn To Be Still”

by the Eagles

It’s just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You’d give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don’t know how to be alone
So we wander ’round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden
They don’t smell so sweet
Maybe you’ve forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet

There are so many contradictions
In all these messages we send
(We keep asking)
How do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin’
It’s waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin’
Keep on runnin’

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..
