I will now set the scene. I’m leaving Sugarland Texas for Downtown Houston as the Sun is setting with its brilliant Orange glow. The cloud of smoke from the devastating wild fires of Bastrop Tx stretch across the western landscape. I feel the suffering of the trees, wildlife and the people forced from their homes and their possessions destroyed. The suffering of the trees fills the air, and I breathe it in. I breathe out a blanket of love covering the wounds of the Earth. Earth is here like a Mother wanting only to serve the purity and perfection it keeps in balance. Human beings are exploiting Her, and devouring and destroying Her gracious love, and Her need to serve Us in the best way She can. I feel the suffering of the World. I tune my ears to the information coming from the radio, story after story of death, war, corruption and immense suffering. We spend most of our time on Earth suffering. I breathe in and out. I tune the rhythm of my love to the pain and suffering felt by all of the World. As I finish off the 59N stretch and exit 288 to leave our beloved place in 3rd Ward behind forever, I have this deep conversation with the suffering and the love of the World. It causes me to want to call my Mom. It allows me to realize that a Mother’s sole purpose is to relieve the suffering of Her child. I want to tell my Mother this… how she relieves my suffering and gave so much care and attention to the development of the being She created. Care and attention relieves suffering, and that’s why I suppose I called my Mother. I wanted Her to relieve the Suffering of the World.
more on this topic soon…
I pray for the suffering of the World. You can literally tune with and call upon the forces of nature during meditations and prayer.
