Moving forward on 9/12: The next ten years

So, we’ve all learned and changed a lot since that fateful day.  After attending a vigil yesterday, I’m left with the question, what will the next ten years bring?

What do you want to see happen in the U.S. and in your own life as we move forward?

I continue to be committed to promoting peace in the world through the medium of Reiki.  But I’m also aware that some changes will occur in how I manage that effort.

I can see myself over this next decade doing more writing and speaking and less one-on-one work with students and clients.  Spreading the word and the light through larger channels.

Just as before, I am aware of the Reiki saying ‘that which does not serve you will fall away’.  So, those structures that are limiting will transition.  Those alliances that are weights rather than bolsters of support will be released so that the thoughts and visions to inspire can continue to do so.

I know the U.S. will always have a presence in the Middle East, but my hope is for a more peaceful and secular society to emerge in the countries we have been at war with.

My hope is also for Americans to find their own balance in life through a restructure of the economy and purpose.

As the new World Trade Center rises over Manhattan, a new era of possibilities awaits.

I tend to see the glass as half full, so I am filled with promise rather than despair.  Sure, life will through each and every one of us challenges, but how we react to them will determine the course we are to take.

I’d like the history books to record the era of 9/12/11 on as the ‘Optimism Decade’.  I hold that intention and look into the future one day at a time.
