Now is the time to widen our perspective. We are not alone in our struggle. Not only does almost half the country supports our yearning, but our solar system is cheering us on, our wondrous galaxy is invested in our success, and the whole universe has our back. With that kind of love and intentionality holding us in its arms our struggle is no longer a fiery battle. It is a gentle yielding to the flow of the greater whole that surrounds us, while tapping into the creative energy that has kept the universe evolving for 14 billion years.
Carl Sagan’s quote on the pale blue dot image comes to mind:
“To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
