Accomplish the Impossible

An invitation from Reality Sandwich:

Today we can no longer afford to ignore our miracles. The world and its inhabitants are subject now to afflictions for which there is no cure, no hope from within the normally possible. Anyone who truly understands the magnitude of the global ecological crisis knows there is no hope, just as there is no hope for the Stage IV cancer patient, the MS sufferer, the victim of any of the legion of incurable diseases that arose in the late 20th century. Nor is there any reasonable hope for peace and justice in Palestine, or Tibet, or the prison system; nor for the resolution of any of the entrenched iniquities of our world. Long-ignored, the gathering crisis of ecology, energy, economy, and society pierces our complacency now with undeniable urgency, and we realize we have no choice but to accomplish the impossible.

Another way to put it is that it is time to enter miracle consciousness, and another way to put that is that it is time to accept the invitation to step into a bigger world. No wonder people reject miracles, often quite strenuously: to step into a new world is scary. But today, finally, we have no choice. The old world is crumbling around us, and there is nowhere else to go.

Progress

I have an interview at a school in my neighborhood! Hallelujah!

I know I am going to be a good teacher. The people who know me know it, too. When a principal sees it too, and we seal the deal, I can take my mission into the classroom. Hooray!

I think of the people who say: whatever students get you will be so lucky. I know they are right. But also I will be lucky, too. I get to know a whole group of young people–learn about their strengths and weaknesses. Education is such a precious exchange, not to mention inspiration.

Praises! Praises! Praises! woo hoo! If you are reading this message, maybe you will find yourself approaching your dreams, too. I hope so. You deserve it.

Hmm, unlike my last blog, which was awfully cynical at times, I think this blog will be free of cynicism. Why not, right?

Last night I got to ride across the bridge with two dope ladies and there was some magic in the air. Good for us for smelling it out!

I hope that you catch some magic in your net today. If you don't have a net, maybe the magic will stick in your hair. If you don't have hair, maybe it will lodge in your teeth. If you don't have teeth, just open your mouth and breathe it in. There is magic all around us.
