The Power of Life Within Us

“Help is not on the way.”  Kurt Vonnegut

Not because there is no help, but because it is already here. It has always been here. All the help we need is within us. We are the result of life’s entire evolution. After experimenting for thousands of millions of years with thousands of millions of variations, life has produced Homo sapiens and equipped us with language, technology, dynamic sociality and intelligence.

Trust life! It’s built of truth and powered with love. And lives within us, in each and every cell of our bodies.

Should we trust the authorities instead of ourselves? Really? Should we trust the servants, “experts” and megaphones of the rulers; the giga-wealthy who are money oriented and view people as statistics and commodities at best, and as burdens when we are unable to aid their greed? Should we trust those who are ultimately responsible for the conditions qualifying us as an endangered species? Or do we trust the force of life within us?

We own the power of life. The power that has covered the earth with soil so deep and rich that it can hold mighty forests with birds that can sing smiles on our hearts; with flying seeds, dancing leaves, and proud flowers dispensing beauty pregnant with promises of sweet and generous nourishment. This power lives within us waiting to obey our intelligence. This power knows all the secrets and can provide us with all we need to know to discover anything we want to know to do what needs to be done.

We are a part of life and entitled to all the privileges, benefits and power it possesses. We need only to listen to it! Talk to it! Trust it! Obey it! And take the responsibility to champion its quest for love’s victory.

We need to start building the world we want; the global garden of peace, justice and beauty. Help is not on the way, and definitely not from the heights of might and moneyed power.

Help is already here. Within us. Can you hear its song?
