6:07 pm on August 4, life changed for thousands in an instant…the time of the Beirut Port explosion. The stories of those who survived and those who didn’t are actually the same story…chance.

6:07 pm on August 4, life changed for thousands in an instant…the time of the Beirut Port explosion. The stories of those who survived and those who didn’t are actually the same story…chance. The inspiration I feel for all of those who came to help, and are still helping, expands my heart. They are points of light, connecting to one another to create a shield of positivity over Beirut and Lebanon. The current situation in Lebanon is dire, political and economic ruin in the midst of a pandemic. I hold the intention that the Lebanese learn from their past to create a new future based on compassion, dignity, equanimity, forgiveness, gratitude, humilty, integrity, justice, kindness, and love. (Thanks to Dr. James Doty for the alphabet of the heart.)
I’m late in replying because I was without my computer this weekend, quite a change for me! In this way it allowed me to pause for stillness. Pausing for stillness, I am aware of the way the clouds change when lit by the rising sun, every few seconds, changing gradually and quickly at the same time. You have to keep watching to enjoy the show. How many times do we look and say “Beautiful sunrise!” and then look away and get busy. It is really worth it to continue watching!
I feel your frustration! How insightful you were able to connect with the word for the day. “We become what we think about.”
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on interconnectedness, so true!
How wonderful that you have been to find the gift in sorrow and adversity and turned it into a positive.
That’s what I realized, accidents happen in seconds, changing the whole trajectory of one’s life. So much to learn, appreciating the simple things in your life… I am so sorry for your loss.
Continue to find the hope surrounding you.
I can’t imagine what you and your husband are going through, but I am gateful that you are able to find the blessings you have received. I pray that you have the strength for what is ahead.
I hold the same hope as you do. Will the message that COVID delivered be listened to? We have a chance to change our ways, I join in your prayer that we find our way back to Mother Earth.
