Purpose
  
You are here on purpose
To be the Peace when others forget.
To be the Light when others see darkness.
To be the Love when others fear.
As you align with the vastness of Peace, Light and Love,
You join a mighty force that is the Truth of your Being.

 The Tao 
54th Verse
                         Lao-tzu
  
Whoever is planted in the Tao
will not be rooted up.
Whoever embraces the Tao
will not slip away.
 
Generations honor generations enlessly.
Cultivated in the self, vurture is realized;
cultivated in the family, virture overflows;
cultivated in the community, virture increases;
cultivated in the state, virtue abounds.
 
The Tao is everywhere;
it has become everything.
To truly see it, see it as it is.
In a person, see it as a person;
in a family, see it as a family;
in a country, see it as a country;
in the world, see it as the world.
 
How do I know this is true?
By looking inside myself.

"Communion in Community" 
 
Our world is a vast array of communities defined in personal ways.  We are part of our local community as well as a community of friends and family.  We are also part of a physical and non-physical spiritual community that supports us.  Community on all levels is important to our nurturing of one another.
 
It is valuable to know whom we can rely on during times of need.  It is likewise valuable to be aware of who around us is in need of support.  Sometimes the gesture of support is a friendly "hello" or "thank you" and sometimes it is the gift of listening or offering encouragement.  The gesture of caring comforts the heart of both the receiver and the giver.  No act of kindness is too small or insignificant and the energy of kindness impacts the entire universe.
 
During times of change and challenges, let's remember our connection to each other.  Let's pay attention to who shows up in our daily life.  Be open to surprises as guidance and support can come in unique packages.
 
Look at community as a resource.  For those seeking employment or increased business, network among friends, neighbors and casual acquaintances.  See value in each connection and be open to all possibilities.  Look at ways to barter, trade and share services or products.  Personal resourcefulness can add a higher quality to life especially during tough economic times.
 
Look at special ways to give of yourself.  Look at your talents and gifts and see how someone may benefit from them.  These gestures of giving have a powerful effect on dispelling fear, distrust, depression, confusion and grief.

As the world transforms, many of us will be drawn together for the purpose of lifting our inner spirit to higher levels of creativity and productivity.  When our spirit is high, open and engaged, the ideas and clarity can flow freely.

Lifting oneself or another out of the density of fear and constriction is an act of empowerment.  It is love and compassion, caring and sharing that lifts us and propels us forward with balance.

Make time to share with Angels, Guides and Ascended Masters.  They are available and willing to give us added support, guidance and comfort.  As they are part of our celestial community, they are adept at connecting us.

Remembering to value ourselves as well as each other will bring strength and resourcefulness to our interactions with all of our communities.  Allow your Light to shine freely.  There is power in our collective illumination.
