Dear Common Awakening Companions,

You may feel it in your life. I know I hear it from so many and many more who never speak this feeling aloud. As one person told me recently,  "The world is so loud right now. It feels like information is hitting me everywhere I go!"  

On one hand, the pace of nature of the world can seem just plain loud right now. On the other hand, sometimes we may find a welcome space of silence and stillness in little bits throughout our days. It's like walking out of a room filled with a cacophony of conversation into the contemplative canopy of a tree-lined stream bathed in moonlight. The still surround that you may believe that you stumble into just isn't a coincidence. You create it. 

This week, we listen to David Whyte’s wise words:

This is not the age of information.

This is not the age of information.

Forget the news,

and the radio,

the blurred screen.

This is the time

of loaves

and fishes.

People are hungry

and one good word is

bread for a thousand.

In the spirit of loaves and fishes, may these words be one good word, for me and for you.

We are a quantum-leap moment of whether hold on and join with the current world or whether we let go and create a new world.  We are making this decision each and every day, choice by choice, and moment by moment. 

When we create our new world (our state), then we live as a luminous sphere (a surround, enclosure, bubble) that we carry with us wherever we go. We don’t take it on or off depending on who we are with or where we are, whether our environment is loud or quiet. Our surround becomes a living presence, a n evocative space, that communicates a clear message. It creates a new world with a loaves and fishes word.

Our surround invites our world to “come and see, yes, there is a different way to be.”

This week, may we join with one another in wondering what one good word your surround is saying?

With love,

Annie
