Making a Difference

Like many others, I watched a lot of the TV coverage on the aftermath of this most historic election. One of the emails that I received is worth sharing and comes from Barbara De Angelis' newsletter, someone I have had the pleasure of meeting at Anusara Yoga workshops. I think it summarizes the sentiments of many.

Regardless of how we may have all individually voted, now is the time to come together as a nation and create a future based on all the things that really matter and which unite us. Let us never forget the intrinsic unity that is disclosed so richly and magnificently in all our resplendant diversity!

TO ALL FELLOW TRAVELERS ON THE PATH

In this auspicious moment
as a Great Change dawns in America
and for our whole planet,
I celebrate and honor each of you who has been
an undeniable part of this historic transformation.

For as you have courageously walked the path of growth
month after month, year after year,
decade after decade,
and worked to shift, to heal,
to open yourself to high vision and deep wisdom,
so you have helped to manifest this moment in time--
a moment when it became possible
for tens of millions of people to reclaim
their own vision, their own hope,
their own heart's longing for awakening.

In your own quiet moments of challenge
that ended in triumph,
in your own private battles with darkness
that ended in Light,
in your own secret struggles with fear
that you transmuted into faith and freedom,
you have made the personal choice for the Great Change
that is just now symbolically revealing itself
in this time and space.

YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCEE.
YOU HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD.

Thank you for living your True Purpose.
May the Great Transformation continue!

Offered in love and service,
Barbara De Angelis
