A few hours have gone by. i have been reflecting about my posting. and everyone else's. I want to say that the way i look at things has been this way as long as i can remember. Way back to my first memories. And i want to say that i get and respect everyone else's realitys here. it seems just as right to me that others might feel something special for this country. and for americans. and for humans. that i dont. I dont feel better, or deeper, or anything. the above that burst out of me today, was a result of feeling there was something wrong about me for not crying over what happened In N.Y. etc, on tue. everyone is crying, and i wondered, do i have a heart? then i realized what i wrote above, the reasons why. then i cryed, i had found myself in all of this. Anyway, i dont think i am deeper or more down for my way of seeing and feeling. At the same time, someone who's response is anger to this event doesn't seem more real or down than i am. Saniel did request that we be a force of peace and love at this time. I think we can, if we can each hold our own selves, while honoring the other in the Great Matrix of Being. For myself, I need to hold the total agony i feel. the suffering of living things everywhere at all times. And include this current tragedy. while allowing others the anger they feel. And allowing others the anger they dont feel. I need to hold all of this in the matrix of love and peace that Being Is. If those of us who are angry can hold that anger,and also allow, and honor in the other the non-anger THEY feel, and hold all this in the Matrix of Being--If those of us whose hearts are broken about this event, but don't feel anger because they also see the reasons that this terrorism happened, can hold that, and allow the anger in the other, and do so in this same Matrix of Being-- Then it seems to me, that we can be a force of Love and Peace in the world at this time.
