I've been doing some US Census work as of late, and heard a story from a woman I came across that allowed me to see how much fear is rampant in our culture and neighborhoods. The woman shared with me that her young adult daughter recently came home from a trip and was struggling with a flu virus. She did not have health insurance at the time (end of April), although she knew she would as of May 1st. She called a half a dozen physicians' offices in the area, including her old family doc. None of them would agree to see her, presumably because of the "flu factor"!
When May first came, she was still not feeling well, so she decided to go to a local hospital. At the hospital, she was first told she had a the Swine Flu and placed in confinement for six hours. She was told she should take Tamiflu and was not even allowed her cell phone to be in touch with her family or friends. Then, to top it all off, after six hours, someone came to tell her that she did not have Swine Flu after all and that she did not need to take the Tamiflu. Then, she was sent home to heal up.
Wow, what kind of fear wall have we built up around all this dis-ease that hasn't even caused much actual trouble in our country?!? It's most disheartening to hear stories like this. However, it's a reminder, I believe, to all of us, that we do not need or want to take on this fear. The key in our times is to stay in LOVE and away from the fear. Even though it's very easy to get caught up in the fear, we are called as divine human beings, to stay Body, Mind, and Spirit in the Light of Love and Joy! And two very simple ways of doing this are by being Creative and being Grateful. How is it that you can be your most creative and grateful self? These are the ways that will help you stay out of fear... I'd like to close here with a story from my book (The Last Adventure of Life) called "Two Wolves":
"A fight is going on inside me," the elder said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil -- he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, and ego. The other is good -- he is joy, peace, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every person."
The grandson thought about this for a moment, then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The elder simply replied, "The one you feed."
-- Cherokee children's story (found on the Internet)
Blessings of a Grateful, Creative Heart, Dancing heart~~~
