You Can

This last week I was privileged to be involved with a group of individuals who want to make a difference in our community. At first our gatherings were opportunities to vent frustration but as we grew in appreciation of our shared perspective we also grew in confidence that we are enormously powerful. The name ‘You Can’ was chosen to describe this simple truth. Our group represents a local manifestation of a worldwide shift in consciousness. There are groups everywhere living in different places, speaking different languages and with different issues of concern – just like a body composed of different yet interdependent parts. Our thirst is for community, a sense of equality and justice for all. We reject all barriers, false partitions and separations. When the veils fall we realise that paradise is here and now. We simply have to feel it enough to act with authenticity. We can live as Ghandi told us – “Be the change you want to see in the world” Why would we not want to live our highest truth? Who are we not to? We are in our infancy, but the first step has been taken; we are awake.
