Underneath the daily rhythms of life, there are larger, more powerful rhythms which impel us forward.
As a society, we are beginning to see what happens when the daily rhythms are pushed forward by the deeper rhythms.
Our day-to-day lives are impacted by local and national policy decisions.
Our larger rhythms have to do with the planet, and even beyond that, the Universe.
The larger rhythms of caring for everyone with the planet’s resources are impelled by the Universe’s care for us all.
We are each of us, precious.
The rain falls and the wind blows over the whole planet.
Things grow over the whole planet.
Wherever people live, they can choose to take care of each other.
When we get below all the noise, the policies, and even cultural norms and personal preferences, we feel the deepest rhythms.
This is where our true and unlimited resources lie.
This is where we find ourselves in synchronization with the largest designs of the Universe.
We get beyond just taking care of ourselves, and we act to see everyone live well.
When we consciously realize this, we are moved by a different rhythm.
We feel ourselves directed in a different way, with different motives, with an unstoppable power.
The conflict between the personal, expressed as nationalism, and then corporatism, is giving way to the largest rhythm of all.
It helps if we have the vocabulary to listen for it.
But even if we don’t, we will acquire it, because this is what is impelling a new kind of consciousness.
Soon we will give way to living as though all of us are precious.
