WATCH FOR CHANGE: The Change of Stillness

The Change of Stillness

Stillness within one individual can
affect society beyond measure.
Bede Griffithe

Be the change you wish
to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi

Of Note: Would it appear to you like it did to me that these two were singing from the same page? Check out www. gratefulness.org for other goodies--they do more than daily quotes. My hat goes off to my sister, Marie, for catching these resplendent moss roses--two shots for two quotes.

Today's Weather Report: Yesterday we had thunderstorms all afternoon--dark, dark clouds with thunder that sent the dog to hide where ever she could. Today is cloudless, blue-sky kind of day with a still breeze blowing. Supposedly it will be in the 80's later. It was 50 degrees early this morning, so that's a 30 degree difference!

DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN

No one would argue that we are in a time of change. Most would also agree that this is a time of drastic, maybe even a time of accelerating change. Some would say "Yeah, but it is certainly not in the right direction." This group might call themselves realists; some might say pessimists.

While others, probably a minority, would say, "Hum, you know, it's always darkest before the dawn. But, the light is already starting to shine through in a place or two." This latter group, too, might call themselves realists; some might say optimists. Others might just call them dreamers, idealists or worse, just plain stupid.

The challenge on this blog is to watch for change that tracks the second premise. Given time, I feel certain that we will see a story unfold in the next decade that may be startling in its simplicity--even though the happenings of the times might look otherwise.

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of Light
within the Mind of God,
Let Light stream forth into the minds of men,
Let Light descend on earth.

From the Point of Love
within the Heart of God,
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men,
May Christ return to earth.

From the center where
the Will of God is known,
Let purpose guide the little wills of men,
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which
we call the race of men,
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out,
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light, Love and Power
restore the Plan on earth.

This prayer was given to us in 1945 as a promise that the Age of Peace is coming but the timing is up to Humanity. Millions say it daily. You can join this invocative appeal and, what's more, it's free. Check out http://www.lucistrust.org/ or www.thegreatinvocation.blogspot.com for more information.
