So What Now?

​

It has become quite apparent that if we don't make some changes, nature is going to make them for us. Change is inevitable, but maybe we should try and steer this ship in a different direction. Although it might sound comfortable, this is not a time for business as usual. There are signs all around us that a theme is emerging here. On television, billboards, the internet, we see slogans such as, Stronger Together, Staying Together While Staying Apart, All Things That Bind  "Us"  Together As  "We"  all messages with a consistent theme... WE ARE ONE. It has  been difficult for most of us to really grab this concept, though we have been taught this very truth for centuries. We all live on one planet, that is a fact that cannot be disputed. Despite nationality, religion, gender, and yes even political affiliation, we live on one planet. Looking at Earth from space its easier to conceive  WE ARE ONE , its not so easy to grasp this while standing on Earth. Recently however, we have really pulled together. Pulling together to distribute food, sciences working together like never before, standing on balconies at the same time to applaud those on the front lines. Even long before recent events we had glimpses of being a collective. On April 17,1970 the crew of Apollo 13 splashed down in the South Pacific Ocean. 70 million Americans watched, or tuned in to the six and a half hour telecast. People around the world waited and watched for the capsule to safely splash down. The New York Times stated, "Apollo 13 came so close to tragic disaster and in all probability united the world in mutual concern". In 2010 after a mine collapsed in Chile, the world watched as 33 miners were brought to the surface one by one. An estimated 1 billion people watched, via video stream, worldwide. In both incidents the world united out of concern for our fellow human beings. Many of us have experienced the elation of singing the same song in unison with hundreds if not thousands of other people. Cheering for the same team all at the same time, these are examples of how we do come together for a common purpose. Uniting together As One can, and has, created great change. So the question is: what steps do we take to perpetuate this Stronger Together momentum? For the purpose of uniting the entire Human Race we must continue this recent step forward. Why don't we continue what we have already started with a simple exercise? Something we can all participate in if we choose. The key is we have to choose to participate. Maybe we can actually create real and lasting change for Humanity. The universe expects humanity to evolve, we expect humanity to evolve, and the two are not separate. Lets choose to participate in our evolution and begin to pave a new path for humanity.
