do something

in my travels to new zealand, i found myself in the arms of nature. after many months of not seeing more than 10 stars (on a good night) in beijing, i saw the uncountable skies speckled by the universe's breath. in the midst of such a natural sky, without the pollution of light, it was hard to believe that this isn't a site that i could see every night.

we keep the lights on due to fear. we continue to "golly gump" our world into a further mess (golly gump swallowed a fly, then a bird to catch the fly, then a cat to catch the bird etc..). corporate interests continue to invade our government, when the world should be governed by what is "right" for humanity. humans don't seem to be a part of the government. money has taken over, and survival is out of balance. it isn't hopeless however deep your apathy may flow in your hearts. in chinese medicine it's about treating the whole, not just a symptom. instead of looking at every individual problem we face in this present moment, why not look at how to rebalance, and let the natural flow return to the body of humanity. this begins with each of us. with our breath, we magically become present, awake, aware.

by disengaging ourselves from the seemingly unstoppable flow, we also disengage from being a part of the negative flow.  the flow then ebbs, because no one is participating as more and more people disengage from it.

we are all in control, always creating our reality by the choices that we make. if we choose to do nothing, it is still a choice, and it crafts reality. doing something can be as small as disengaging from the nagging negative thoughts that present themselves in our daily lives. choose peace instead. for example, angry thought comes. instead of engaging it, getting more angry, repeat in your mind or say it outloud, "i choose peace instead." the body will respond, and after awhile, the nagging angry thought won't come back, because you've transformed that energy into peace. into noticing the smile on the face of your friend or your child, the sunlight coming thru your window as you wake. perspective change, balance change. it's intoxicating and valuable, as well as contagious. your smile or your grimace will affect another. do you want your energy to affect people positively or negatively? YOU CHOOSE.

slowly slowly, as we move thru these personal changes (because YOU can only change yourself), the world's conscious collective rings on a higher more positive vibe. the people in power are eventually affected, or positively people come to power, and the world is once again governed by positivity, and humanity is more natural and in balance.

i wrote this rap for a new song i'm working on. hope you like it. peace, smiles and love. JESS

body mind soul resonates a vibe
when it's balanced then the vibe begins to harmonize
feel the rhythm of your spirit as you recognize
how the god within us all can really energize
as a people we are stained by our humanity
how can color make a difference in how we see
there's a higher way of thinking between you and me
that brings peace and patience to reality

you say what can i do? what?
choice is always available to you
one extreme to another is a bother we can balance it out with truth
breathe and

do somethin do somethin
you can do somethin
better than nothin
let's all do somethin

let's say everyone's a source so it starts with me
say "it starts with me" (it starts with me)
take deep breaths and calm yourself down
you're not alone even if nobody's around
you create your reality with every choice you see
disengage from the current of the negativity
stop blaming stop judging start breathing start nudging
your life is the present be present and you can

do somethin do something
you can do something
better than nothing
let's all do something
