We’re all in this together
I really look forward to Jamie Ridler’s wishcraft Wednesdays. Her prompts are great ways to take my writing in new directions, give me new essay, newspaper column or blog post ideas. Today’s, “What Luxury Do You Wish For?” feeds into the books I’ve been reading lately, “Shadow Cities,” “Planet of Slums,” and “A Nation of Farmer’s.”
I’ve been blessed with a most fortunate life, for which I am truly grateful. When I read about the suffering & starvation that takes place on this beautiful planet, the number of people who live in slums (1 out of 6, soon to be 1 out of 4), I would like the luxury of being able to alleviate their suffering by giving them their land “back” so they can grow their own food and rebuild their own homes. There’s no reason for anyone to starve.
Once the starvation stops we can weave our collective magic together and recreate a healthy, livable world abuzz with creativity. So, I wish for people to realize that we’re all in this dream, this fantasy, this Earth-body together, that the left Earth-hand has to know what the right Earth-hand is doing for the whole to work in unison.
Muse thx,
Giulietta

You know, I was just thinking about the starving people of the world, upon the recent passing of Norman Borlaug, called by some the greatest man who ever lived, because he spent his career working to increase food production in countries around the world, and saved untold billions of people from starvation.

What a beautiful and selfless wish. This has been on my mind of late too. It breaks my heart to see children living in this way – anyone living this way..there is no reason!
Namaste, Sarah

You know what … that really is the ultimate luxury, isn’t it? It’s such a big important wish/dream, that I don’t even dare wish or dream it, as if I don’t believe it could come true. Thank you for reminding me that wishing leads to action leads to change, and it just might come true, or at least it is important to work towards.

Thanks for swinging by and suggesting I travel via Google. It just isn’t the same to experience a place via pixels. I do enjoy surfing but look forward to exploring the real thing one day.
Have a lovely first day of autumn.

I am hoping that the new millennium will finally usher in a new organizing of civilization where no-one starves, health care and education are universal and that us humans unleash our creativity to live in harmony with the ecology of the world, explore and discover our world and beyond and that the many benefit instead of the select few. Thanks as always for sharing the musings of the muse!
