It starts with each one on a personal level. The problem is, we cannot make people do anything until they are ready.

We can be good examples, helping as much as we can in daily life and raise awareness.

Nothing more frustrating than to see "them" run against that wall again and again.. or jump off that cliff...

I have a sneaky suspicion that society needed and still needs a few wake up calls. Covid was a huge one and still, some still can't see it..

Hopefully we wake up in time to avoid another reign of terror and oppression for God knows how long..

Human kind has not learned it's lesson.. again some fell for greed and corrupted/ poisoned the whole pond.. we have been here before...

May God help us all! 🙏

Thank you Mickey!!!

Thank you, An...but please allow me to clarify. I'm not talking about us changing anyone except ourselves. Because we're also running against that wall. 🙏

I think we all are.. and some should.. lol .. can't help it.. hahaha

This is our creators way of reminding us that we go off the rails if we forget who we are and that we will need his/ hers or it's help. On a daily basis until we go home.

Well said! That said I will say prayers for those affected by the massive flooding. I heard parts of North Carolina and Tennessee had 12-24 inches of rain during the storm. I just went through 11 inches in 24 hours and this is a catastrophic amount. Despite this humans are an adaptive resilient type and God willing can soldier on, perhaps even having learned from the experience.

The greatest work is always in our own mind...

Amen, Amy...and I pray you and yours have recovered from that storm! 🙏

And yes, the stories Alicen has told me about NC will not make the news but they reflect the adaptive resilience you mention.

Reading this is like breathing fresh air!!

Another home run. The most liberating thing in the world is realizing you don't have to change anyone or anything but yourself. What a relief!!

I love that notion of a "circular firing squad"...so true!!

Praying for Alicen and all others recovering from this event, including some of my own family members. And yes, we can only lead by example whether anyone chooses to see us or not. ❤️

Finally back on the grid after 5 and half days ! Thanks for the prayers! Hope Alicen is okay - we here are all doing fine. I was dancing in the yard when I heard the cooling come on! Still checking on friends, only one has the power on already and they are in the next, bigger town, and we are in a hamlet of a small one. Living off-grid is not fun at all!

Prayers for your friend Alicen and her cat and all those who are recovering from the resulting devastation of Helene. I’ve been through many a hurricane as a former Gulf Coast resident and it is truly a struggle to get through every day without electricity or water or much worse, trying to salvage the wreckage of your home. It’s overwhelming and you just want to give up. I think the loss of life as of today is over 100. Everyone who has been affected by Helene needs to be remembered in our prayers.
