Elder Muse/Day 21: The Light of the Universe

“Every day you play with the light of the universe.”

~Pablo Neruda

“You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all your experience to the highest advantage of others.

Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone. Nature is a totally efficient, self-regenerating system. If we discover the laws that govern this system and live synergistically within them, sustainability will follow and humankind will be a success.

Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.”

~Buckminister Fuller.

Be that one person. Direct and simple guidance to the heart of our being.

Isn’t it fascinating how often we spontaneously, or dare I say magically, come across something that helps to move us over an inner threshold that felt stuck in mental clutter. This morning I was mired in the seemingly more challenging facets of what it is to be human, and an elder, right now in our Earth’s unfolding.

We all need expanding and reminding at times. I know I do. To get out of our own way and remember that our daily actions, thoughts and uniqueness does matter.

Thank you Buckminister Fuller!

May these words, stories and images assist you to remember who you are….and how you can be of service.

I have no idea what will arise…..but then do we really know ahead of time what our moment to moment daily experience will be? We are only asked to pay attention and attend with open artistry. ~Gaye Abbott
