Revolution is Here … ( 10 / 28 / 2011 )
I ’ ll explain why Kindness truly works in a later epistle , and yet it is enough for you to remember it today while you ACT ACCORDINGLY . And have fun while you are shaking things up — doing so with thoughts of radical Forgiveness , acts of irreverent Kindness , and a life of Joy-filled resolve …
If it is to be effective , this Revolution must be about having a firmness of conviction while keeping a most-gentle Heart … It must be about demanding justice while having compassion for her violators … It must be about standing up for what is Right with a loud voice and a firm will , while remembering to keep both our minds and our arms calm & open .
Yes , the Revolution is indeed here … and remember : The Revolution is Love !
“ There are three kinds of people in the world : those who are asleep , those who are stirring , and those who are awake . If you try to wake up a sleeping person , he will curse at you and roll over and go back to sleep . If you try to wake up a stirring person he might awaken , and yet will probably only do so just long enough to curse you and then go back to sleep as well .
As such , instead of trying to waken those who are asleep or stirring , simply be Kind to them . Fluff their pillows , kiss them on their foreheads , and tuck them in . The important task for those who are Awake is to seek each other out ; to connect with others who are also Awake ; to talk and sing and openly celebrate together . This interconnection of Compassion will alone be enough to create a groundswell of Awareness . And as this groundswell expands and intensifies and spreads , it will of its own accord awaken the stirring and stir those still sleeping .”
~ inspired by Buckminster Fuller
