earth light...

This Day, Empress Menen's Earth Light, I am preparing to follow her example in spreading love all over the world.  Little Se'lah and I are busy as little bees randomly selecting the recipient of your loving-kindness in the Gift of Jewels project.  I was thinking about making my postcard when Little Se'lah caught the card-making bug.  She has offered one of her handmade creations to give away to one of you as the "secret jewel".  isn't that sweet?

After the sun hides behind the horizon tomorrow, we will gladly join billions of people worldwide in turning off our lights for one hour in observance of Earth Hour.  The thought of quiet time....aaaaahhhh.  Time to meditate.  Time to practise mindfulness.  Time to pray by candlelight for all the sufferars around the globe.

There are many women and children who go to sleep at night worrying about bombs falling out the sky or cowering beneath weapons of human destruction pointed their direction.  Many have nowhere to run.  No place to hide. (exhale).  I need not go on because that thought alone is enough to reduce me to tears.

Imagining the depth of the suffering of all people would have been overwhelming were it not for the solace I find in the stillness of JAH.  So I seek peace, and embrace love until it fills my soul, and then I release it out into the universe.
