The First Blog- Unity


Hello, aloha, and welcome.  Or to quote Michael Franti "Hello, hello, hola hola, bonjour bonjour, ....." (there was more to that but the cd is in the car).  I first heard that song by him yesterday and what brought tears to my eyes was the absolute feeling of  inclusion and unity- we are equally blessed and we are all in this thing called humanity together.

The sense of unity I felt when listening to Michael Franti's "Yell Fire" album last night opened my heart wide - like yes, people, this is what its all about.  We are one.  

The nightcap, to that  was finding Marianne Williamson's "A Return to Love" next to my bed: resonating with beautiful universal truths.  Relax.  Innately we are whole, its just that sometimes the soot of our "stuff" obscures us from remembering /knowing that. 

  And in that wholeness we are connected to Source- pain and suffering are simply us forgetting that connection.   I've read that in books, I've heard it from teachers, and more and more I own it in my heart.

Beauty- whether in an uplifting song, an inspirational book, a moment of clarity- is a reminder to me to step back from the internal dialogue and remember.

namaste,
Jessica
