We could say that, we are singular expressions of the collective consciousness. We could also say that, our presents, intentions and actions express and attune with something infinitely larger than us individually. But know that, choosing to grow and evolve in our consciousness does affect the whole because we are also inseparable from the whole.

As I am sure you know, on January 8,2011, in Tucson AZ, a gunman with a semi automatic weapon fired into a crowd where Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was holding a meeting with members of her constituency in a Casas Adobes supermarket parking lot. 6 people were killed and 12 were wounded including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. On Wednesday, January 12th, a memorial service, "Together We Thrive: Tuscon and America", was held honoring the victims that were wounded or killed at McKale Memorial Center where an array of great speakers were inspiring the crowd including President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The president gave a wonderful speech. He said - "At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized - at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do - it's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds," and "I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us."

In that spirit, I invite us all to come together and unite. I would like also ask that we keep our families and friends of those who died and are wounded in our hearts and minds.

Remember, our prayers and intentions really do affect the world.
