It’s been a while since I’ve posted.
And quite a few changes have been happening at The Aware Network and on Planet Earth.
After our stint in Victoria, for Rainbow Serpent festival, fires ravaged the land. Another demonstration of our planet’s elemental imbalances, the devastating fires also presented an amazing opportunity for the Human Heart to act with love and support for our fellow humankind in need. That inspiring picture of the fireman aiding a thirsty koala still warms my heart.
Amidst such tragedy, it was inspiring to see the Australian community come together and donate or just send their warm wishes to the families and wildlife suffering.
My beautiful friend Azriela has a sister (and family with newborn baby) who lost their house and all their possesions in the fire. Despite the understandable sense of loss, she has mostly commented on the overwhelming support from others. She’s received pourings of donations and gifts and kindness from others. She has more baby clothes now than before the fires, thanks to others’ kindness. In the words of another first-hand-witness of the fires, Helen Matthews wrote on Starchild’s website: “As I live close to the areas affected, I would just like to share with you. Yes, there has been great devastation including loss of life of at least 200 people, but also from that, what is coming through from all Australians and some parts of the planet is Great Great Love. The wole country is really pulling together to show all those who have indeed lost loved ones and possessions that out of loss can come Hope, Compassion, Peace and Comfort. I feel very proud to see such healing love being shown”.
I agree Helen! Out of loss and tragedy can come great promising Change and Hope!
