I was sitting outside of a coffee shop this morning and beginning to write my first draft to the blog in about two years. It was time. You know, you may get this feeling in your gut that it’s just TIME. And when I feel that I can have the energy to write.

So I did and completed an entire draft and mailed it to myself at home so I could put it here. Yet when I came home it had just vanished. I thought it just needed some time to get here so I took a nap…a very good idea for anyone. If everyone took a daily nap the world would look much better, I think.

So after my nap I began to look for the draft to post and it just was not there. My mail was sent but the content was not there. I did everything I could think of to bring it to life but it was just G.O.N.E. Gone. Oh, shit! My wonderful words gone. Then another thought entered. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing is random. So what if that wasn’t the draft that was needed now. Maybe my title, “It’s time” has to do with something more needed.

And I began to think of our world today and how upsetting it can be to so many people. Everything seems so unstable. The VIRUS has entered our lives. We have a fascist president who can be very scary to many of us not just here in the US but it seems like this kind of thing is rearing it’s ugly head in other countries as well.

So, It’s Time. Time for what? Time to think about what this great stirring can bring us in a very good way. I wrote earlier that we create what we are thinking about and when our president was elected and my friends were depressed and drinking, I was thinking about that Chinese saying about crisis also bringing opportunity. And then the pandemic. More opportunity. And then the endless killings of Black men and women at the hand of police.

Yes, it definitely IS TIME! And I see it and I’m feeling it all around me. People coming together. More families having time to spend together. More fathers and children in the parks. More of a spirit of helpfulness, of community, of love rising from all the anger, and I’m sticking to this one because it resonates within me as true. Yes, other things that are happening are true as well but the power of Love is so much bigger and stronger it will eventually win as so many people are more and more wanting the same things that we all want. We want peace. We want harmony. We want to live in loving communities that can come together.

Most of us are weary of divisiveness, blaming, name calling, anger. We want a stop to that and when enough people want a stop to it, it begins to happen, Now you can feel it too, I hope, if you think about it. Many people are too skeptical to believe that something really good is coming out of all of this. Even with everything in the US pointing towards a new president people are still skeptical that it will happen. And it’s not an impossibility yet such a stirring up will allow the best of us all to meet the challenge and isn’t that what we all want to see? The best of ALL of us. The “WE CAN DO IT” thing that has gotten us all through the grim times all over the world.

Because I know that what we think about so we create, I choose not to watch the news, watch uplifting movies, love my dog, send love to people through my mask on the street, help whenever I can to put a smile on someone’s face. The Beatles had it. Love is all you need. It is powerful beyond measure. It’s what created all of us. It’s the air we breathe and the energy that keeps our planets in perfect orbit. Nothing is random.

And it’s not about an instant miracle but a moving towards something better. Always moving towards something better. Love each other. Keep the faith. In crisis comes opportunity and what an opportunity we have now and we can feel it and meet it with Love.
