Every single step is precious

 
Living in a way that guides us to our greatest selves involves a great deal of walking boldly in to the unknown.  This ability to plan, rehearse, and then surrender to the flow is what makes a person able to adapt and succeed.  In this light, all situations can be seen as part of our training; part of what makes life a challenge as well as a gift.  As we become comfortable with being fully prepared and then moving through the situation under the direction of the Spirit, we are able to adapt to the needs of the moment. 

     So many of us have been training all our lives for this decisive moment in history. Now. 

     Adapting to the needs of the moment is the key of the Love philosophy.  By changing whats happening by participating more consciously, we can make definite changes in short periods of time. The first step is to bring together the different groups that are so often duplicating one another's work, or creating a small change in a place where it could be larger if it synergized.  We are responsible for working together at this point. We are responsible for cooperating to make tangible changes. And for those who are living highly responsible lives, what can be done about making a cultural change? Establishing institutions and systems that serve the well being of the whole, while nurturing those who manage the existence of these systems.  
     We can move from the martyr model to the mastery model by examining some core assumptions and moving past them.  Industry can be green, volunteering can be valuable, and barter can sustain a community when its balancing out wages and gifting. When we really value each other, and are interested in making definite improvements, we can transform our street corner and our neighborhood.  
     The web of 'hoods and teams and groups and churches links together to make the world we inhabit together. Small teams in cooperation can swiftly make significant improvements.  The models are in place and now its time to participate.  I hope you can touch the edge of this inspiration and breathe it into yourself. I am afire with the need to see things get better than what they are. This is my invitation for you to open your heart and your life to the power you hold in your two hands. Every step is precious, every hand holds the Key to our future.
