My heart hurts when I hear the ridiculous ideas and thoughts that spring up when tragedy strikes, or for that matter anytime there is a reaction and there is a rush to do something.

It reminds me of a neighborhood meeting I attended to talk about adding sidewalks to improve the safety of the heavily car traveled roads and what we might be able to do about re-paving the streets, when one of the neighbors hijacked the conversation with her personal fear about her house catching on fire and her being trapped in a blazing inferno and her inability to sleep.

Personal fears are just that fear.  Fear is unproductive, and not right minded thinking.  Stay focused on the task at hand.  Listen to guidance from your own intuition and don’t get derailed by insane undisciplined thinking.

Remember today your mechanism to turn fear into love.  Allow love to dissipate your need to react and open up to responding.

Thinking is meant to be used in service of love.  Anything else is in-sane-ity

lots of love,
Melanie
