Get the bridge out of the darkness and return from the separation of self.<\/p>\n<p>Once you get \u201cwater\u201d is this\u2026 instinct. feeling. emotion. You can use it to decode all the hidden messages in everything. It is all possible. Getting that first key stone is the hardest as blinders are built into the universal framework but ultimately care and work and faith allows us to see past our clouded and skewed vision to the truth that lies beyond our perceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Elaine Strich had it from her show At Liberty \u201cI am mad as hell that I had to go through what I had to go through to get to what I\u2019ve gotten to.\u201d \u00a0And. Here I am. We\u2019ve all gone through what we needed to go through, we\u2019ve seen the outcomes of behavior, we\u2019ve cycled through the disconnection, we see the truth. We know what doesn\u2019t feel warm and friendly, we know what closes our hearts, we know what we need to be. We are not going to be able to hide behind fences, technology, or whatever defenses we imagine will help us, the planetary\u00a0 population has eradicated that possibility. We are like little rabbits walking into the light for the first time. Realizing how connected we are, realizing there is no one left to squeeze to make a profit, no dumps left to fill. No ways that can\u2019t be inherent in our means. We are interdependent on each other. We are here to help each other.<\/p>\n<p>When we see with love. Life is easier. Love is easier.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing leads to the promised land.<\/p>\n<p>The promised land returns you home. \u00a0Every time. \u00a0Recognize what is already before you.\u00a0 Open your eyes as never before and let your heart lead you in all ways, and if need be tap the heals of your metaphorical red ruby slippers, three times and return home.\u00a0 Right now.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy Luther VanDross singing from the soul &#8211; a house is not a home and let its spirit move you.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gu2JBMNBbKo\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gu2JBMNBbKo<\/a>\n<p>Lots of Love,<\/p>\n<p>Melanie<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Day Forty Five of\u00a0 Forty Five of #LoveLand101<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><strong><em>Melanie Lutz is a screenwriter, author, and visual story teller.
