A transformation is afoot, and it's waiting inside everyone to appear.  Who are the people driving all these SUVs and Hummers and buying all these big-screen TVs and lousy over-sized houses with paper-thin walls and no trees?  Are we that bored?  Are we afraid that we can't accomplish anything better with our life and we're just filling time until we die? 

It's just a matter of thinking a little differently, and your world is different, your emotions are different, everything LOOKS different.  All the pain washes away -- but this makes it sound really easy.  No, it's not that easy -- not if you get into the details of your life, not if you aren't humble, not if you aren't willing to believe that your life has merit OUTSIDE of what you own.

It's a life-long process to believe that your life has a true and wonderful meaning -- and certainly, should a tragedy hit you, no matter how small, then it is hard to continue in believing in a positive and creative energy surrounding all of us.  When there are murders or wars or stupid acts that we can't seem to control -- then it can be very hard to believe in a positive thought from one person making a difference.  And it can be very hard to have a positive thought.

I am still working very hard on keeping hold of positive thoughts and energy, and I HAVE seen the difference in my life.  I needed to say that somewhere, so I've said it here.
