The BlackBerry Bloom

🌼

BlackBerry blossoms -
Promise for our tomorrows:
Starburst hearts shine through.

Hope for tomorrow: the black berry flower. Lovely and simple white bloom with 5 white petals and star bursting center. In blackberry bloom’s stunning simplicity, I am held mesmerized for a bit. I pause along the path i have been given to walk and appreciate the beauty.
Today I am thinking – these are Our Children – the children not only of America but The World. Simple and unassuming, yet containing an exquisite starburst of light which seeks to fling itself out into Creation sharing their burgeoning consciousness with all in their path.
And today many have been plucked – taken away – before the bloom could morph into the rich fruit which had been the original intention of Our Creator.
I can make no sense of it and so, I cry. Bright and shining meteors of light plucked from the starrie sky when only a hint of their full potential had been expressed.
And while I cry with head lowed in shame, knowing I did not do enough to create safety for the young ones … The Young Ones who survived are stepping forward with the fortitude of strong hearts, carrying focused intention to go the distance. They have been brought to full fruit before their time by the events they have lived through. Their petals have been crushed by the horrors they now carry with them. Yet battered and bruised they stand tall before the people of the world. They stand with arm raised and heart fully exposed and say to us: NO MORE.

and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM.”

With deep sorrow over the loss of young lives needlessly through recent years - - I again say IS NOW FINALLY THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT GUN CONTROL?

I love to stay in the clouds with high thoughts – seeing the best – looking to the future when we have ascended thru the Yuga/Age to a time of peace and prosperity for our world …  AND … I do know that time is coming.  I do know that there is a spark of Goodness / Godness in each of us. 

However, now and again the grunt labor part of creating that world needs our attention.  We do not create a healthy and strong body by looking at photos and reading ‘health’ articles in magazines.  We create that health through actually doing the work.  Like buffalo – facing into the storm and making the hard choices. 

This includes putting aside culturally ingrained rhetoric – some of which has been spoon fed to us by organizations and their big money backers who make huge profits when we sink into fear and decide to ‘fight fire with fire’ …. Forgetting that one of the most powerful tools of the firefighter is water which is the exact opposite of fire, or fire lines where the fuel is taken away.  Very rarely does the fire fighter fight fire with fire. 

The recent horrors started with Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Since that day, there have been at least 239 school shootings nationwide and 438 people have shot with138 killed.

You know the rhetoric on both sides.  Ask yourself: What is the most efficacious changes we can make to stop the violence.

On average, there have been about five school shootings each month, including episodes that were not mass shootings. This link has no gory photos- however the graphs are heart rending gory.
