I must say that I think I am turning in to grumpy old man I look out on to the world and the beauty and wonder I saw as a child has been mired by the horrors we have created. Know I am not just talking about the wars and conflicts since they where their before I was born and will continue way past my death.
I am talking about human behaviour it one of the reason I moved away from city life and decided to live in the countryside. Now I have not always be a good boy I have done some wrong in my life like many others I am not perfect but through my path and communion with the Goddess I have come to live a life that I can be proud of.
I face my daily woes like everyone else lack of money, rising prices, stress, illness, social isolation, not matter what I smile and continue through them knowing even in my darkest of days a ray of light will guide me through them.
I know that I have the power with the will of the Gods to change any aspect of my life but I cannot change the world. It is only as one voice can we bring change to the world as a whole. When we unite in one voice and towards one goal will change on a global scale will happen.
But where to start… now that the biggest question do we work towards stopping war and conflict or start with our own families and communities?
I would love to see world peace but I have come to realise the world is like a tree (not to be confused with the world tree / Yggdrasil) each leaf is a trouble, conflict, horror, blessing, a joy etc and when you remove one leaf two replace it. Remove a leaf of conflict and you create more war not the peace that was desired this happens because you have to reach across the tree causing damage to other leafs on your journey to pluck the desire leaf.
Taking this idea of the tree each branch is a continent and along that branch smaller branches become the countries along that branch the smaller branches cities and towns each producing a leaf creating the canopy of the tree. If you stand back and look at the tree you will see that some branches look lush and green others look sick and others look wild.
Now the big problem we have and I am sorry for the tree analogy is that the people in power only focus on the way the tree looks choosing to envy the bright green sides or choosing to cut away branches that upset the ascetic of the tree without forethought of what will replace the missing branch.
Now for true change to take place we have to start with the roots not the leafs. Now it is people that are the roots of this tree it is our energy that causes the tree to grow and our behaviour that makes the leafs shaping the look of the tree.
If we want the tree to grow strong and look wonderful we have to start with ourselves and our families and offspring. We have to stop creating generations of children who have no respect, we have to rid ourselves of the fear we have other that are different from ourselves. We have to build communities we are proud to live in, safe environments for our children to grow and flourish in we have to teach them so they can continue our works and their children can continue their until the day we not only have a perfect world but a beautiful tree we can be proud of.
I wish I had the wisdom to say what need to be done and how it should be done to bring about this better future but I don’t I just know that if we keep on the path we are travelling our future will not be a happy one.
I would love to say that we need to discipline our children when they do things wrong but governments have said that we cant it unlawful we have to take back the power and force the governments around the world to hear the needs of the people rather then them acting on our behalf doing what they think is right for us.
You can’t tell your children off without them threatening you with childline, you cant walk down the street with out the fear that a group of hooded children may do something, your brother and sisters are force to fight in unjust wars this is the future we have created it about time with one voice we say stop!
We want our children to be respectful, we want to be able to walk the streets without fear, and we don’t want to fight because you want change! We want to fight for change! We want to open our arms and share our differences instead of fearing them.
We must become the beacons for change. The light that shows the way let our action speak louder than any words.
I am going to end this with the words from the greatest love of all one because the words can say all that needs to be said and needs to be done –
I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

Much is written about the Yggdrasil, the world tree that supports the nine worlds on 3 levels of being. The concept of a central pole, pillar, tree that holds the cosmos together, dividing and connecting the heavens and the earth is found all over the world, in many cultures (totem poles, Chinese tree of life, the kabbalah, Yggdrasil, the Saxon Irminsul etc).
