Harmony…synchronicity

I recently read someone talking about being in tune, being in harmony with their surroundings. And thought if we handle situations as they come and maintain a certain composure we will be in sync because…here it is, what happens around us is not happening in us.

I don’t want to be in snyc with the world, I don’t want to be at peace with my surroundings necessarily. I would rather have inner peace which can transcend my surroundings, that can get beyond the horrors of war, suffering and pain. I want an inner peace that takes those things, those cicumstances and reaches deeper and prays and cares for the sick and wounded. I don't want to ignore the poverty or wealth, the joy or anguish but i want to bring it to the love the of God…as if i could be Christ brindging the gap... kind of like what He did often inthe gospels.

I want to be the kind of person and that lives in the in the moment, that can live in any situation with the state of my soul being in snyc with what really matters. Going beyond myself and reaching the situation and more importantly, the people around me.

I think this is how Christ was. He did see the needs around him but wasn’t over wrought or disconcerted. In fact when he did express his sorrow or cry it was because he felt the despair of others, and even over Jerusalem he shared the grief and love the father has for His people.

Interesting. Most new age and even many Christians are now saying we should live in peace and harmony with our world. We should ‘be at one’ and ‘have harmony with those around us’. Maybe harmony isn’t the right word. Maybe we should speak into the pain, confusion and emptiness around us. Maybe we should be coming from another place. A place where Christ rules our hearts. Where self-sacrifice is king. Where what happens in this world isn't accepted but addressed and brought to the grace, mercy and love of God.

I want to live in each moment without regret of not doing something or fear of what is to happen next. This is what I want. I want to be, an ever-present, real person in sync with my creator, dispensing librally the love and joy of God to all around me....

I have a long way to go (obviously)
