Let’s hear it for the small and mighty

“In the universe there are things known and things unknown and in between there are doors.”—William Blake

Newtonian physics tells us change occurs when force is exerted on mass. To this day, most folks believe the only way to improve life is to gather enough signatures or rack up enough social media followers or amass a hefty enough pile of moolah. Then and only then, the thinking goes, can we effect positive change.

But what if that’s an outdated idea, disproven some 100 years ago when quantum physics found that even the tiniest of movements, the smallest of acts has cosmic significance?

What if the two-way conversations so many of us have begun is impacting consciousness? What if life is working in quiet and subtle ways in the journals of individuals all over the world?

What if this appeal to another intelligence is impacting the planet? What if anytime one of us opens our heart a tad bit further, the whole world opens to a new possibility?

What if the single family of four who currently enters and exits their house on a ladder through the kitchen window (so as not to disturb the mother robin who built her nest by the side door or the mother finch and her four babies by the front door) affects how all of us honor and value life?

Again, it’s not the conventional path, the one that has long told us that working hard and struggling and relying on big organizations and big governments is the route to a more beautiful world.

But here’s the thing. We all have equal power to determine the future.

I can’t help but notice that something really significant and powerful is happening behind the scenes.

Not long after I started formally asking the Divine for guidance (I’ve been a fan and a beggar for its wisdom all my life), I was told that Elizabeth Gilbert had embarked on a similar project. Last weekend, I finished a book by Julia Cameron, a sequel of sorts to the Artists Way, where she also suggests seeking written guidance (this is in addition to morning pages). As Cameron says, we all have a direct dial to God.

Each of us are interconnected at a level beyond space and time. Every part of the universe has access to information about every other part, giving all of us the power to sway the world towards light.

We need only pick up a pen and begin.
