Change as a Spiritual Pursuit

As you clamor for and look for change in our politics, know and remember that change is, indeed, a spiritual pursuit and this is how: The nature of Nature (among other things) is to be in a constant state of change. Trees grow, animals are born, ecosystems breathe, species die out, the sun shines, the rains fall, the temperature changes, the oceans move, lightning strikes, droughts and floods occur and all of it is part of the nature of Nature. Never ending change.

We, as human beings, belong to the planet. We are part of it, connected to it, made of the same stuff. So when in our daily lives we allow change, when we offer it no resistance even when it scares the crap out of us, allowing the change aligns us with the nature of Nature and with well being itself. If we're paying attention, we'll notice that we usually feel pretty good when we're in this process - or at least we feel alive!

So the feelings we have now when we think about the change we have just created in our politics, the excitement and enthusiasm and aliveness are due to that very alignment. When we are reveling in it, when we are feeling energy because of it, that's because we have aligned ourselves with Spirit.

And politically speaking, in America, we've only just begun.
