I'm in London! It's rainy. It's so multicultural! So many Africans and Asians! The first question my driver (from Ghana) asked me when I got off the plane was, "so how do the Americans feel about all this US goverment action in Iraq?" Talk about dropping right into reality! The US is in a bubble. The rest of the world is horrified by our actions.

I fumbled my way through an answer and it made me think of the movie I saw last weekend, "The Last King of Scotland", about niave do-gooders, the complexity of curruption in Africa and basically genocide.

These are not topics hula hoopers I know generally discuss. We talk hoop moves. We talk about joy and love. We talk bootie shorts. We talk about the latest sparkles. New MAC makeup. We talk cute costumes. We talk about being sexy and having fun and enjoying our bodies. We talk about saving the world with hula hoops.

After I watched that movie I had a meltdown. I was utterly shattered and literally felt guilty in my gut that I have been able to live such a priveledged, joyous life while millions have died during my lifetime from unspeakable atrocities.

How do we reconcile that? How can we live in our little bubble of joy without letting ourselves feel the truth and know the reality of what is happening outside our country? How can it be some people's destiny to live in such a short painful way? And what does that mean about each of these people's connection to Divine Source? How can any of these people have fewer tendrils of electromagnetic energy enfolding them in a larger supercosmic plan of human evolution? Why them and not us?

I cried about it in Kramer's arms, we said a prayer for world peace together, and went to bed. In the morning I read more of that book, "Excuse me, your life is waiting" and realized that the change begins with each of us being an epicenter of peace.

Peace in my conversations - listening deeply and without the need to be right. Peace in my relationships - letting go of unresolved resentment and forgiving everyone for everything. Peace in my work - making the creation of high vibration good feelings the center of my philosophy. Peace in my community - letting go of competativeness. Peace in my home - keeping things tidy and organized. Basically, I realized I can be the difference every moment of every day by radiating peace!

So that is the sense I am making of the chaos.
