If you click on the title above, you will here a live version of the Michael Franti song "I Know I'm Not Alone." Michael Franti is a musician who inspires me greatly and some day I will spend a whole day devoted to him and his music. But for today, I want to focus on our interconnectedness. I truly believe that we are all part of the same thing - the same energy - every living thing is part of this energy. I read somewhere that when we see a stranger, we should say to ourselves "Behold, God." Try this with somebody you don't care for (I can think of somebody right now!) It's powerful! When somebody seems frightening to me, or I am feeling really annoyed at someone in my family, I take a breath and say silently, "behold, god." My energy shifts immediately. I am god, you are god, they are god, this tree is god, etc. (switch out the word god if you are feeling blocked by this...) I am love, you are love, this is love... You're not alone, my love. xoxox
