		<description>Lauren, thank for your inspiring comment, and welcome to my blog. Yes, I, too, am awed by the resilience of the human spirit and psyche - tapping a wellspring of energy that always seems there for us whenever we are ready to draw from it once more.

Thank you for your joyful reminder: &quot;That is what carries me through the shell-shocked blasts of life! Love, laughter, and the touch of those we love.&quot;</description>

		<description>Catrien,

Such a powerful analogy.  The thing that awes me about the human spirit and our psyches is resilience.  

I love that we share love and realness with those close with us.  That love does abound through it all.  

That is what carries me through the shell-shocked blasts of life!  Love, laughter, and the touch of those we love.  

Great post!</description>

		<description>Tess, hello, and thank you, and welcome to my blog.

You share such important reminders of how each of us can consciously engage in our daily lives with the unfolding of the world around us.

Thank you for your friend Evita&#039;s reminder, too, &quot;Continue to be a consciousness of love and the universe will unfold as it should.&quot;

The key is our continued consciousness - the mindfulness arising from our deep awareness of our essential connection.</description>

		<description>Robin, thank you again for bringing your powerful, vibrant presence to comment so passionately on my blog.

You have said so much. I would like your words to speak for themselves, and I simply say, thank you.

And I know the mountain here, and all her creatures, have the wild generosity of genuine heart to receive and accept your thoughts of love and healing.</description>

		<description>Hi Catrien,
I agree it&#039;s our inner waste and garbage that need to be cleaned up and the rest will take care of itself. How do I do that? Prayer, meditation, trust, gratitude, honesty, integrity...need I go on. My friend Evita says,&quot;Continue to be a consciousness of love and the universe will unfold as it should. That&#039;s my plan as well. I lost that plan for about a year and she reminded me of it recently.</description>

		<description>Dear Catrien, I cried reading this. How could I not. I felt discouraged, deeply saddened and disgusted with the shelling going on and what is happening to the wildlife, the mountain and people in the area (so senseless). Having been a bit involved with environmentalism years ago, I am not surprised by what you share here, but no matter how many times I hear things like this I still feel deeply dismayed.  

I am glad you wrote about this. And there are so many wise comments here that I hardly know where to start. I had this thought. For me, this is a deeply spiritual issue. One might think it&#039;s about the shelling, the human waste on the mountain, the US military, the environment and so on, and it IS about all those things, but it is also a call to us ALL (not just the military, or the hikers on Fuji), but a call to us ALL to awaken and remember who we ARE. It is a call to reclaim our integrity, dignity, awareness, connection to each other, connection to this living planet, connection to other beings (both plant and animal). It is a call to live in integrity with ALL life. We currently, as a species, are not living in integrity &quot;with&quot;.  We have yet to realize that when we harm the world around us, we harm ourselves.

It would be easy to blame the military, but upon close examination of my own life, I have learned that we all are responsible for what is happening in the world. Even if we don&#039;t cause it directly, if we don&#039;t do all we can to bring positive change, awareness, and help to the world, then we still contribute to the problems. THAT is why this article is SO important. You make us feel, even if it is feelings we don&#039;t want to feel. You remind us that we are part of something bigger, part of each other (no matter where we live), you instill hunger for a better life, better world. You remind us that it is not good to fall asleep at the wheel. You remind us that all is not as it seems. You invite us to rise to our full potential and to act with integrity, every day. 

Yes, dear Catrien, I am so glad you shared this. Your voice is powerful, true, clear and very awake. I am move to tears by it. Thank you from my heart for sharing YOUR heart. It&#039;s important. You add strength to the world&#039;s awakening. And THAT makes me very very happy. I am so glad you are in the world. Much love, Robin 

PS I am sending my thoughts of love and healing to your mountain and all her creatures.</description>
