The Chilean Mining Incident

         Amazing and beautiful to see how people will always come together during times of crisis to help another.  I’ve seen it time and again.  A crisis befalls another and we all rush in to help.  Men will hug men.  People will go long periods without food, sleep or water just to keep helping.  The love and effort put forth brings tears to the eyes of the observers.  It’s real, it’s raw and it’s remarkable.
            What would it take to extend that kind of love and effort daily?  What if we offered ourselves for the betterment of another every, single day?  What if we could smile at strangers, hold open doors for people, stop by an elderly person’s house to just say hello?  What a beautiful planet Earth we would be living on…  J

  1. Yes! What an inspiring story. I'm still amazed how calm they appeared to be. I wonder if it's in intense times like this story, people become more aware and mindful and they begin to change powerfully - but only for a short while. What indeed - if we changed for real - great entry!

  2. Thank you, Scott! :) I believe these situations do open people up to a different mindfulness and awareness. During those times, we are truly in the NOW and coming from a place of unconditional love. It feels so right and at home for all because it is at that time we are truly connected to Source and all that is... I feel the shift! :)
