Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. ~Matthew 5:5
I’ve been looking at this verse in a new light. “Meek” denotes gentleness, humbleness and consideration. The meek are the ones tending the planet and fulfilling our natural role as stewards to the Earth. A role that we’ve all but forgotten.
Folks are speculating what will happen in 2012 as the poles shift. Some believe floods and tectonic calamities will occur. If we were to imagine that the world might change overnight and leave us with no Internet, a barter system instead of symbolic paper (money), and razed transportation routes & communication lines, who would thrive? The people living close to the land. The meek.
More than ever it’s time to plant a garden and tread lightly.
Yellow boots rock!
The meek do not need to be reminded of the power worship, the grace of humility and power of humbleness. When read through different eyes, one of the greatest teachings of our times raises awareness even higher. Check out the two versions for comparison:
O Breathing Life, your Name shines everywhere!
Release a space to plant your Presence here.
Envision your “I Can” now.
Embody your desire in every light and form.
Grow through us this moment’s bread and wisdom.
Untie the knots of failure binding us, as we release the strands we hold of other’s faults.
Help us not forget our Source, yet free us from not being in the Present.
From you arises every vision, power, and song, from gathering to gathering.
Amen: may our future actions grow from here!
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
