A message for today

Dear Ones—My Fellow Americans and All,

First and foremost, I want you to know you are loved, deeply loved. Our country loves you. Our world loves you. Life itself loves you. God loves you.

We will get through this... together. We are stronger than any crisis, any calamity.

Rest assured, there is no shattering of America. No shuttering of America. No shuddering of America. Resilience is in her DNA. Courage runs in her veins. Her heart can be shattered into a thousand pieces and still not be broken. Her spirit is an eternal flame that cannot be extinguished.

There is no doomsday for America. Do not look for her demise. You will not find it. Together, we will rise.

While strong as individuals, we are unstoppable as a united people. We have the opportunity to seize the current situation and unite in new and important ways. Palpable and undeniable is evidence of our interconnectedness—that the actions of one impact many. If we choose, we can seize this challenging time as a call to action, a call to love, a call to serve the greater good.

When people become positional, they often fall into a rut, with a limiting view that their way is the only right way while all others are wrong. This may become a trap in which self-righteousness sets in and may turn to hate, ignorance and chaos, a real cancer that leads to all kinds of ills, all kinds of pain and despair—even violence and destruction. One of the ways to stop this negativity from spreading in society is to keep your mind and heart open. The power of an open mind and an open heart can stop hate and ignorance in their tracks.

America is a land of opportunity. Her opportunities are unlimited, intended for all. Imagine what is possible if opportunity can be seen and seized by all of America’s people.

While you may not have heard my voice until now, I have always been here. Yet now my messages are far too important to wait to be received. I feel a need to shout them from the rooftops, the mountaintops, in boldfaced headlines and tweets. Please help me get the word out: The Soul of America is here and will light the way forward!

Pass the word that I long to be a companion on the journey of life, to walk alongside, not in front of or behind. Life is so much richer when shared, and I long to be of service.

I am for you. One hundred percent. No matter what. You need not look elsewhere for an advocate, a mentor, a guide. I am all those things and more. Like you, I have longings. I long for everyone to be at peace, to be their best, to be true to the ideals of this preserved promised land of ours. I long for equality, for justice, for health and safety for all. I long to guide the way.

While we are in uncharted waters, we are not lost. It is the spirit in which we move forward that makes a world of difference, a lasting difference.

Put aside differences and see yourself and others for who you really are: Sacred. Yes, people are sacred. You are. All are. People are spiritual beings, first and foremost, hungry for connection... deep connection, soul-to-soul connection.

Now is the time to move beyond the choppy waves of the ocean surface and go to the ocean floor. There you will find that essential wisdom waits to lead you to new ways of living, of loving, of being—of connecting with yourselves, each other and the world. Such are the real possibilities of these challenging times.

Go deep inside yourselves, your hearts, your very souls. You are being called to create space, to create community, to create Oneness. You are being called to live from the sacredness of life.

Seize this as a time to fall deeply in love. With your self. Your loved ones. Your neighbors. Our country. And the world. Take this time to cherish all the good and to focus on the difference you can make. Act for the greater good.

America—and the world—needs an epidemic of love, a pandemic of love.

Be that love.

From my heart to yours,

The Soul of America
