I am watching the National Geographic Channel's "Tsunami: Day of Destruction." These amazing people who physically survived this incredible disaster had to learn to survive the loss of family, friends, homes, businesses, belongings. How did these people survive the emotional pain of this disaster? I watch them...their tears, their surprise, their angst, their loneliness. These incredible people lost everything and many of them lost everyone.
It made me think of survival on a more personal level. Everyone I know is trying to survive SOMETHING....
the grief of lost loved ones
the dissolution of friendships
the pull of materialism
the deterioration of health
the lack of peace in the world
the lack of peace in our hearts
the lack of money in our wallets
the frustration of missed opportunities
the obstacles on our journey
the souls who just don't seem to understand us...
How do we do it? How do we survive these mini-tsunamis?
I think it begins with slowing down and listening...
to our inner voices...
to our fellow deep souls...
to The Voice that truly guides our way.

Your Survival article is amazing. Lord knows we've survived many mini-tsunamis.....gout, hernias, miscarriages, brainless teenagers, toddlers that whine, sick puppies, boob things that you stick on.....i don't quite get it yet (show me?), jaegermeister, hysterectomies, and too many skeletons; not enough therapy time.....but at least we have husbands who pamper us, clean for us, cook for us, and don't expect anything in return. We're so lucky.
