Celebrate What's Right in the World

Our focus dictates what we see, which reinforces our focus, determing what we see. There is much beauty and wonder in the world around us--uplifting validation that we are Spirit, we are connected, and all that before us is sacred!

Accept the challenge--show us what's right in the world today, so that we may see even more of the beauty, the positive, the hope tomorrow.

When deeds and words are in accord, the whole world is transformed. --Chuang Tzu

You Are The Reason ~by Bonnie Ste. Croix

If you could take silence and make it be words
If you could take children and let them be heard
If you could take war and let it be peace
The sun would rise on a world that's free.

If you could take shame and let it be pride
If you could shine light on the places you hide
If you could bring soldiers back to their lover's arms
The sun would rise on a peaceful morn.

If you could take Earth and heal all her wounds
And know every small step is gonna help it come true
If you could see beauty in everyone's eyes
Then you are the reason for the sun to rise

If we could begin, think of how it would feel
To slow down the pace now, and let yourself heal
To love that there's difference, to love that there's same
One by one in the world now, we'll make it change, we'll make it change

If you could take Earth, and heal all her wounds
And know every small step is gonna help it come true
If you could see beauty in everyone's eyes
Then you are the reason for the sun to rise
Then you are the reason for the sun to rise.
Then you are the reason for the sun to rise

BE THE REASON.
 

Happy New Year, Dear Ones!!! You are the reason for the sun to rise!!

A Spiritual Journey

 

And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,
and learn to be at home.

What is amazing about today?

~Kes shares a spirit-lifting clip at What is amazing about today? from a tremendous project that uses music to show us just how interconnected we are.

Mark Johnson, Jonathan Wallis, Whitney Burditt, David Bacon, Joe Carnahan and Raan Williams created a movement to connect the world through music. "Playing for Change: Peace Through Music" took a few years to produce and from one song 'STAND BY ME" recorded musicians from around the world and edited the sound into one recording. The documentary will be released in 2009 but you can get the sneak preview on their website.

HummingBird presents Something precious

(dedicated to those who are loving and all those who grant others the honor of loving them)

There was something precious
about the way you left your window open
that day it rained and the wind was howling
Your gauzy curtain, a dancing muse, flying
wispy poetry for all eyes to see

There's something precious shared
When you leave your heart achingly wide
to share without withholding
loving without a single thought
For that utterly unprotected warm place

There's something precious that happens
When you drop those boundaries
between self and others and objects
And gift all earth with the abundance
Of boundlessness

Celebrate What's Right in the World

"I won't see it until I believe it. That's the way life works" --Dewitt Jones
Image by Dewitt Jones (film-maker and world-class photojournalist for the National Geographic)

On Wednesday, 03 Sept 08 I will be initiating the CelebraZine online magazine/blog carnival, a collection of uplifting and empowering video, image, text, and audio from positive creators around the web.

I recently heard on NPR that there is actually a 'Science to Getting a Yes,' a methodology to get people to respond positively, even when the presentation is truly to their own benefit. The general idea was that in order to sell a positive pitch you must begin the presentation from the view of dire consequence!

I, however, am a believer that our focus dictates what we (can or will) see, which reinforces our center of attention, perpetuating what we see. I do not believe that the negative is the most direct path to the positive. See: As We Believe, So It Becomes


Today is a preview of the works that CelebraZine will be presenting twice-monthly. I'd like to introduce you to this perspective by introducing you to our 'key note speaker' for our premier edition, Dewitt Jones (film-maker and world-class photojournalist for the National Geographic).

For those of you who do not already know, this twice-monthly CelebraZine was inspired by the sublime genius and genuineness of the message in Dewitt's presentation of his world view in his short film, "Celebrate What's Right in the World". After seeing this presentation, I was certain that this was the kind of message I cared to see spread into the world-start with seeing the positive and move forward from there!

I contacted Dewitt's office, expecting only to send an email to thank him for his message and the work he was doing. Much to my surprise, he contacted me, quite willing to exchange visions of the positive in the world. My conversations with Dewitt have reinforced my belief in presenting a message stemming from the positive.

Have a look at his 22-minute film, "Celebrate What's Right in the World". In it, Dewitt asks: "Do we choose to see possibilities? Do we really believe they're there?"


He assures us that there is always more than one right answer. Celebrating what's right with the world helps us recognize the possibilities and find solutions for the challenges before us.

This inspirational, best-selling film utilizes stunning photography and powerful dialogue to help viewers approach their lives with celebration, confidence and grace.

"As I celebrated what was right with the world, I began to build a vision of possibility, not scarcity. Possibility... always another right answer." - Dewitt Jones




If you have never met Dewitt Jones before, he is one of America's top professional photographers with a career stretching over twenty years. As a motion picture director, he had two films nominated for Academy Awards before he was thirty. Twenty years as a freelance photographer for National Geographic earned him a reputation as a world class photojournalist. Dewitt now speaks to associations and corporations all over the world. More

Not every message of Spirit is in a 'rarefied' form. Nothing is outside of Spirit, and Spirit will bring its message to the surface in whatever place is most conducive to promote the message-sometimes in surprising forms.
