You change the world by changing yourself.
Once, I was involved in a lot of activism. Trying to change and improve the world through campaigning, lobbying, awareness raising and political engagement. Then I discovered the path of healing and spirituality. Now I recognise that following the path of our own healing and spiritual evolution is a kind of sacred activism. Global and collective change is in fact an inside job. We each have our own piece of personal healing which contributes to the collective healing. Our inner world and our personal frequency is projected into, and creates, the outer world.
Do not try to save the whole world
or do anything grandiose.
Instead, create a clearing
in the dense forest of your life
and wait there patiently,
until the song that is your life
falls into your own cupped hands
and you recognize and greet it.
Only then will you know
how to give yourself to this world
so worthy of rescue.
