I returned from the most amazing adventure to Las Vegas and, the next day, woke up to news about the mass shooting at Mandalay Bay. We missed what they are now referring to as a MASSACRE by one day. It's impossible to feel lucky when there is so much pain, panic, sadness, and devastation out there. When I meditated today, I did so with the intention of absorbing the world's hurt and emanating love and healing energy. I was surprised by the physical manifestations of both intentions as I sat there. Where the absorption of hurt is concerned, I found myself fighting through a total panic attack, complete with hyperventilation and a crazy gagging reflex. It was so intense and very difficult to sit through, but I held on. Eventually, I allowed my focus to shift to love and emanating light. What a vastly different experience that was! I could actually see light through my closed eyes, and it shone so brightly that there was no room left for dark. I lost myself in the gloriousness of oneness, light, and love, and when I came out of my meditation, I could hear my Dad singing...
If we can love each other, why don't we love each other?
Love Each Other
by: Doug Midgley and Bob Peek
As we go into the next century
Don't you think it's time
To take all our silly difference
And put them to the side
If we can love each other
Why don't we love each other
If we can love each other
Why don't we love each other
When you see what's going on today
Don't it make you sad
This could be such a perfect world
Just look at what we'd have
If we can love each other
Why don't we love each other
If we can love each other
Why don't we love each other
Look in the eyes of every stranger
You know you might just see a friend
When you go out in the world today
Keep an open mind
Reach out for every kind of love
And love is what you'll find
If we can love each other
Why don't we love each other
If we can love each other
Why don't we love
