Some days I look around
at this exquisitely unique planet—
this shimmering blue bead suspended in
what so many dismiss as “outer space,”
as if the cosmos were nothingness—
and I wonder how it came to be overrun
by control freaks bent on damaging
everyone (fellow humans, creatures
of all stripes, the very environment itself—
including the air required for life to continue)
for pieces of paper
they’ve convinced themselves
are worth more than life.
Dollar bills as destiny.
Old-growth forests cut for profit.
Oceans treated as garbage dumps.
People stacked like resources
on their sad little ledgers.
Everything sacred
reduced to a spreadsheet.
And I think,
What am I DOING here?
How did I end up
on this strange orb?
Because sometimes it feels like a mismatch—
me with my open heart,
my instincts tuned to wonder,
my body listening for the hum beneath things
while the world drowns itself
in noise and conquest.
I watch these greedy others tear at the Earth,
building empires on sand,
mistaking control for safety,
greed for success,
excess for abundance—
and I ache with the absurdity of it all.
And still—
the planet remains impossibly beautiful.
A tidepool flashing with galaxies
on the micro scale.
A mountain breathing out
the soft volcanic ash of its making—
the ancient dust of fire and sea.
A mango tree dropping sweetness
into the open palms
of anyone passing by.
How is it
that the Earth hasn’t forgotten who she is?
How has she not given up on us?
Maybe that’s why I’m here—
not to fix the madness,
but to remember what is still holy.
To say:
Look.
This is worth loving.
This is worth protecting.
To hold open the doorway
for anyone who has forgotten
how to feel.
Maybe I’m here
to keep asking the real question
out loud, to no one in particular—
until someone else hears it
echo in their bones:
What are we doing
on this strange,
heartbreaking,
breathtaking planet—
and who might we become
if we finally woke up
to the miracle beneath our feet?

Amen… 👏🏼

Indeed who might we become if only we awoke and became aware of what this planet gives us daily that so many take for granted…
I know its especially harder for those of us with sensitive souls as we bare witness to what surrounds us at this moment in time… The Greed, the Anger, the Violence etc…
And that is becoming more profound as we shed more LIGHT into the world revealing yet more shadows that come to the surface….
I feel personally I am here holding space, of that beauty, space within that love of Mother Nature, and holding space for other hearts that are open and opening…
It may well get harder in the near distant future, as we witness yet more horrors surface of how mankind has strayed and been led further down the path of self destruction..
BUT…. I believe also that we are hear holding space for transformation… We have to Witness the depths we have sunk to, in order to rise out from it and never allow ourselves to sink this far ever again..
We will not witness the total transformation, which will take decades if not centuries yet to rise out of the muddy waters.. But does not the water lily need those muddy waters to rise up before it blooms ? ..
We are in for more disturbing times, but ultimately I KNOW deep within me, that my purpose is holding faith… Holding onto the LOVE and Kindness that many ordinary men and women express daily…
We only get to see the worse of cavillations via the media whose job it is to report the negative news… Because they are part of the culture that wishes to control by holding Fear in good hearts… To lower vibration.. When we know it is beginning to rise… As we exit this particular time portal within the Kali Yuga’s…
I watched an interesting podcast the other day… About the Goddess Kali ..
I will send you xx <3
Much love Dearest Bela xxx <3 🙏💖
Sue, thank you so much for this insightful comment. What I have become aware of is that I am a bridge being, able to hold the light in the darkness and bridge people between as they integrate. I’ve always done it, I just never had a term for it. And yes, many of us including me are light anchors during this dark time.
I think many are holding their breath, hoping we are through the birth portal sooner than later. I can’t deny it, I would love to see it happen sooner, but I think you’re absolutely correct, it took a long time to get here, and it will take a while Before we can redeem our species and rise to the light as galactic citizens who understand that love is all there is.
Many blessings to you, as we enter this holiday season. May we find little islands of peace and joy with our communities and families. Love you, sweet friend . 💗🙏♥️
I think we are in the height of labour pains!… Especially here in England as the Labour Party in government here seems to wish to ruin everything it touches right now.. 🙂
I love the Bridge Being…. analogy ,,, We are in fact holding two sides together by being that middle ground, holding space of love and peace as we see the demolition debris crumble around us..
Have a beautiful Holiday season Bela… Much love to you xx 💕🙏
