We are in this together
June 3, 2008
In the age of digital business it is easy to forget that we are in this together.
It is easy to imagine that the guy in the corner office is different, special compared to the guy downstairs organizing the cleaning supplies.
It is easy to imagine that the beautiful model on the front cover of Vogue dribbling with LeBron is a better person than that lumpy looking woman you sat next to on the train today.
It seems bizarre that we can imagine separation more easily than we can believe in wholeness. You and I are part of an organism we call the world.
Ronald Regan believed in trickle down economics, I believe in flow through spirit. If you kick some one in the shin it is felt around the world……..we may be so desensitised that we do not notice do not feel the kick. The law of physics prove it.
Each of us puts energy into the world, participates in the universe by simply being alive. In modern times we seem to feel if we get enough stuff we can separate ourselves for reality on the streets. Ah the streets, no one wants to walk the streets anymore, downtown they are littered with garbage and discarded people and drug addicts. In the suburbs they are clean and empty, there is something eerily intimidating about their emptiness.
Just for today remember we are all in this together.
