Birth place.
A simple thought today of healing through sharing. The photos above are from the Red Wood Forests in California. Beauty of the earth, of natural world for me is always experienced in the sharing. The natural world thrives with sharing as its habit, essential truth and value. The earth teaches us always in a new way, from its very old way of being.
The earth lives habitually in opposite ways of repression, oppression, extraction, exploitation, or paying the price of loss of humanity due to our behaviors of destruction.
To share is to have in common. In my walking the forest everything seemed to have in common, life and its many seasons, aspects and forms from birthing to decaying. Everything in its time and place was uniquely living in the sharing of the common life that is the beautiful forest.
I believe all of life began this way, in sharing of an outpouring of love which brought forth all life in this cosmos. And the bringing forth of life became very good when everything for the beginning had been made. Creator God called everything "very good" when creation in its original form was finished and whole, night day, earth sky, plants animals fish and the full of human kind, both male and female together on the final day of original creating.
The women in Nepal and the Harambee Arts team which is gathering from across the globe, will work together through expressive arts to bring forth a time of sharing in the strength and courage it takes to look at our brokenness for the purpose of regaining wholeness. And as I return to the US and Oregon, I will bring back with me a greater sense of what it means to walk in the sharing of Healing and Hope and Life to share with all of you.
As a Pastor in the Christian faith, I believe Jesus is always calling us to share, bread, fish, wine, water, finances and mostly LOVE which brings forth LIFE! So I go to Nepal to share my life as part of a gathering community who is determined to bring forth beauty from the ashes of human trafficking experienced, and community restored where some were cut off because of repression, exploitation and the habit ignoring or allowing of the pain of some, and the perpetrating of harm by others.
Will you join me in this effort of Raising Change?
- Will you read about Human Trafficking in your own geographical location?
- Will you work to gain a comprehensive understanding of this Global heinous economic enterprise?
- Will you find ways to be involved in the transforming work that creates a world where human trafficking no longer exists in any form?
