Elevated Awareness

Once upon a time, all was well. Obviously, something was coming. It would not have been the first time something like this would arise.

In the mist of elevated success came this dark cloud in a struggle against assumed success within an international stage.

Awareness usually come at a cost. The usual cost is in correct fear. In the mist of a cloud lies answers that are slowly dying. Underneath the remains an extended awareness for life, for love.

The desire is that we may gain all of this without any pain. Even if we were to be at a lookout, the iceberg would still hit us.

Unfortunately, truth alone does nothing. The visual signs are not enough to erupt change. It takes a stock market crash. It takes lives lost to shake us to a pivotal change.

Awareness is usually deemed after the visual look of peace around us. We have to be shaken and not stir to action in keeping our freedom.

How many firefighters will it take to get you out of this one? Where you there? Or where you part of the miracle? Where you late to work? Are you currently in another country? How many soldiers will have to die for this one event? So we can keep our freedom, our food, our stores, our 7Eleven stores, our Seven of Nine Star Trek characters. Is the truth out there? Will we boldly go to counter this one event?

Where you there when they crucified my Lord? No, that is just a song (maybe not "just a song, but never mind that). But in this elevated awareness, where you there when they hit us?

Where you there when everything came tumbling down? Where you alive when everything came crashing down? Do you still have nightmares about those people who came to do those acts of terrorism? Where you thinking Pearl Harbor all over again? Where you feeling the elevated stench of disgust?

Where you feeling affected even from the West Coast side to such a crash? Where you looking for a man in a beard to shift all blames and excuses to? Where you sad that you were missing your favorite TV shows due to coverage on the extensions and implications of such a security threat or event? Did you run on over to the airports to see if they were really shut down?

Or did you bow to your knee near those buildings with crosses on the sides of them? I have heard some kids say, "Oh, did that happen during the Civil War or Declaration of Independence."

How does this event make you feel? How could it not influence you in any way? is there anybody still left standing in trying to guess what event I am talking about? Are you still left standing, guessing? If you are still left standing, after all of this, then you sure did make it through step one. If you are still standing then there is hope after this very event (have you guess it: September 11, 2001). If you are still standing then this event has totally impacted you.

Because then, even through those buildings are no longer, you are. Even through they are no longer standing, you have rose to that elevated awareness.

You have rose above the rest for that change!

Because we can!
