As powerful whole beings, we can approach life s challenges with compassion, wisdom and trust. We can embrace our challenges responsibly, learn from them and grow together. True togetherness comes from within and for what is within to manifest without, we need healthy bodies and minds. A whole being, nurtured by whole foods, naturally experiences himself or herself as part of the whole, part of the web of life. With the recent events in America, Trust is more important than ever.
Fear often creates distrust, especially of anyone that looks like an enemy.
When something as terrible as our recent tragedy happens, the media can whip our anger and fear into a war-like frenzy. We can quickly learn to fear flying, statistically the safest form of transportation in history even after these disasters. Worse, we can learn to distrust our neighbors with the wrong skin color or cultural heritage. The danger is that this opens us to manipulation by the very terrorists we despise, and vastly increases the real danger that may be confronting us. So it is essential for us to learn to Trust our fellow Americans again, regardless of heritage, accent, hair color or skin tone.
