When it’s time to learn something, we will learn it; our choice is whether it is through joy or through pain. Marianne Williamson, “A Return to Love”
Author Carolyn Myss says something similar, that when we need to learn something we can either take the wisdom path or the woe path. It feels like with the Trump election in the U.S., we have chosen the woe path. No doubt we’ll learn a lot, get stronger, step into our individual and collective power, etc. but really?…couldn’t we have chosen a better way? Of course we could have but we didn’t so here we are, figuring out how to navigate through what’s ahead.
It’s easy to focus on Trump with his high profile media persona but I think many/most people agree that issues are far larger and deeper than him. Our institutions and systems are no longer working well, particularly for people who aren’t part of the wealthy elite. And the breakdowns are getting more visible all the time, I think. We need a massive transfusion of love, peace, justice, compassion and kindness. We can be those things individually and collectively! We can help to transmute the darkness into radiant light! It doesn’t feel like it will be easy but our energy is certainly needed.
I am including 3 links at the end of this message to articles by Charles Eisenstein, Dana Mrkich and Matt Kahn. I have found them to have perspectives that are helpful to me as I try to discern my path through the chaos and challenges ahead. Perhaps they will be helpful to you.
There is so much that could be said but I’ll just share a couple more thoughts. First of all, we each have choices and we can individually choose the wisdom path as much as possible, despite what anyone else does. The other thing I keep hearing when I tune into Gaia and nature is that we have Unseen Ones who can help us tremendously. Perhaps one purpose of what is going on is to encourage and motivate us to ask for help from the wisdom and strength of those in the Unseen Realm.
May we join hearts and minds and unite in our intention to continue to birth the New Earth. Blessings, Mary

From Gaia, December, 915, 2016
Beloved ones, precious and dear to my heart, The current times may cause many people to feel despair, hopelessness, discouragement and fear. Yet you are asking for transformation as you become more aware of the injustices, corruption and inequalities that are becoming more obvious all the time. These problems have existed for millennia, dear ones. Now they are coming to the surface to be seen, acknowledged and dealt with. And you are being given the tools and energetic support to do what needs to be done.
Although it is important to be aware of the problems that need attention, the last thing that the earth needs is more fear! The earth needs your partnership, caring and love. Never doubt the power of human love, co-creating with the Unseen Ones who surround you and love you more profoundly than you can imagine.
Of course, there is a need for activism, standing strong in the face of injustice of all forms. Take action when you see needs that you can help to fulfill.
But also know in your hearts that there is a need for you to vibrate with love, shining the light of your love everywhere, always. Think of fireflies, each shining a small light. Yet when many shine, the twinkling lights transform the landscape with magic. So with small candles or lamps. Each sheds a light that collectively can be like the Sun, illuminating everything!
Hold fast to your vision of the earth healed and whole and all of creation with it. Comfort yourselves and ask for comfort from your Earth Mother and all of the Unseen Realm when you feel overwhelmed by the travails of life. Rest when you are tired. Take action when you feel called. Know that no matter how dark things seem, there is light shining on you from an unending and powerful Source. Ask for help and you will receive it. Know that you are loved, my darlings, and that I send love to you each moment, only love, always love, love overflowing.
I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend
