Tsunami Sorrow

We are such a devisive people with the capacity for such emmense expressions of unity and connection....Perhaps the earth moves and shakes us to our foundatioin simply because the earth moves, and changes and evolves and shifts, and shakes us to our foundation with its dance..or perhaps nature continues to need to use natural disasters to put mankind in touch with his higher and greater potential. We as Americans, ever more isolated and arrogant, have been busy wandering around in our lower expressions of potential, so divided in our own sweet country over how and who should love, what to do with our elderly and our poor, immigration issues inflame the calmest, unbigoted heart, children still go to school hungry in classrooms that do not teach, and millions walk our streets without healthcare when sick.... and we've immeshed ourselves ever deeper in war and world discord...all tools of seperation. Yes, the earth quaked with grief across the ocean floor and God spread His sorrow across our lands, a heartbeat in time, many thousands claimed, washed away in heaven's tears...and the rest of us for a moment stop to recognize our oneness. These are not Muslims we are seeking to kill or transform, "worshippers of Satan's religion", peopling these devastated lands. No they have been transformed by tragedy into children of God we are trying to save. Perhaps the world needs to swallow its own to awaken us from the slumber of our illusion...............where man's goodness pierces the celestial veil of dark and grey and lets the sun's melody sing for the earth on this new day.
