I’ve started a new podcast series titled: Stream Thinking the Power of Now.  Learning to trust free form thinking.  Our best decisions are made right now.  Own your leadership.  The rules?  One page.  Ten minutes to write.  No editing.  Plenty of time to talk about it at the end.  Putting the nib of the writing instrument on the surface of paper and writing whatever is moving through you in this moment of Now.  The subject this week is a tangled up question.  What is religion in a world redesigned by a pandemic and political recklessness?  Very easily I could’ve said “2020 is trying to lay us down for good!”  A year has no feelings.  A year has no compassion.  No way of knowing who and what is hurting or gaining.  The way people choose to believe and or not has been affected by the inner strengths ignited by what they assumed religion is, might be or won’t ever be.  We are always told that God forgives.  God lives.  God replenishes and God fixes all things.  Yes. Yes and yes.  But not on the same playing field as the injured human.  The UK and other nations have been shut down because of the pandemic.  Here in the states we continue to hit unheard of numbers with decision makers still refusing to recognize the sickness.  God and religion are very present.  Our personal choices need to be of his word or not.  That’s a decision just as is the mindset we pull ourselves into when agreeing with or walking away from another human’s behavior.  I don’t want to sound like a political candidate but after nine months of quarantine how are you doing?  How do you locate your inner strength and trust?  Everything you once were is currently sitting in the corner of your eye.  The struggle to stay focused has weakened so many legs.  Yet we keep pushing.  I’m not saying the sky is falling, I’m asking how we can build with what we already have?  Whatever you believe in.  Whatever I believe in.  Let’s bring them together and utilize the strength to repair the present.  The physical call is to become better listeners.  To be ready to lift each other by being equal with love, peace and understanding.  Then sharing the harvest equally.  The stream thinking power of now message?  We need each other.  This isn’t a solo sport.
