A Cleansing

As I sit here and think about the word change and how it relates to earth; I am also thinking about change when it comes to human life. There are many individuals who cannot accept change nor do they want to adapt to change. But we all know that nothing stays the same. As humans living on planet earth we should know that change is a way of life because we are living on a planet that changes every second of every moment. I don't think we "get it" that this is the way of life here on earth. As humans we are not exempt from change or else we cannot survive on an ever changing planet.  Change doesn't always come easy. Change doesn't always bring happiness because with change there is also hurt and pain. But out of change there is love and hope.

I think a lot about change as it relates to President Obama. He knows a lot about change all to well. He was conceived out of change. Born from an African father who was not a descendent of slaves. Born from a Caucasian mother who was American bred and whose forbidden love was not accepted in many American states because of bigotry and hate. His mom and dad living as an interracial couple in the sixties was a transformation. President Obama attending Harvard when only a few African American students were accepted or parents could afford was a transformation. The state of Iowa endorsing an African American to become the next President was a transformation. As I sit here drinking my half empty cup of coffee, I can't help but wander if it's not half empty but if it's half full. I believe that President Barack H. Obama winning the presidency wasn't luck that he won. It wasn't because of the state of Iowa nor young America or new technology.  President Obama won because of all the hatred, bigotry, greed, poverty, and wars between nations that are being fought around the world because it is time for earth to do a good cleansing once again. You see Earth can take care of itself - When its time to get a good cleansing, it already knows the Who, What, When and Where! When Earth knew it was time to get rid of the most wanted man on the planet...It was already pre-dedestined that no other prior President could do it because he had to be able to speak to all nations and be heard softly.  And because of this was able to bring down the most wanted man in the world! 

Mother Earth has to cleanse itself again and it's not going to do it with a "Big Bang" in the universe....not with a great flood that will cover the earth and certainly not by an altered state of humans.  Mother Earth will cleanse itself with a "voice."  Think about it... A multi-cultural voice for a multi-cultural world that can transcend and transform a multi-cultural earth. One voice of HOPE because everyday the earth starts anew.
