On one of our trips we were enjoying the sound of the pouring rain and thundering skies from the back sleeping quarters of our truck. Quinn began talking about how impacted he was by all the homeless, the hungry, the sad, sick, and angry people.
Everyone at the school paying attention to us two strangers coming in to check out their school. Such excitement for engagement and opportunity for a photo shoot - A welcomed break from their focused studies.
He talked a lot about the children who's lives were already aligned to follow in the footsteps of their often clueless parents and society. I could feel his heart, as I too felt the intensity of life for many, not only those in third world countries, but also those living the high life of the American Dream.
However, unlike me feeling saddened and burdened in not really knowing how to help, Quinn began joyously providing solutions! As I listened, my mind exploded as he was sharing with me how to cure hunger and homelessness, alternatives to the broken educational system, answer to consumption and waste, how the government could work in the favor of the people, keys to parenting and relationships, and solutions providing true health, empowerment and well-being!
WHAT!!!???!! How could this one young guy have so many solutions? Even with all of these supposed brilliant people in charge contributing to building a grand society, the people of the world were still really falling short on many level of anything more than mere survival!!
I was freaking out -- bubbling with overwhelming excitement, joy and sadness all at the same time! "Why are you lounging here in the back of the truck with me in the pouring rain with all of the solutions to the problems of mankind, and no one knows about this but me?" WHY!!?!?!
I couldn't believe it. I wanted to record those moments for posterity and for proof that there really are answers and that they are being unlocked from inside of this incredibly aware and insightful man!!!
"Why don't people know these things? Why don't people know of you? WOWOWOWOWOW!! "
What could I do to uplift, support, contribute and help bring awareness to the possibilities that Quinn was sharing with me?
What we were doing at the @gardenofeden became ever more powerful and took on an entirely more profound meaning. It wasn't just about being in service to feeding housing and educating a few to make their lives better, but was actually exemplifying and bringing awareness to the potent high level potential and solutions that exist for all broken parts of our world. It was no mere coincidence that his vision came to be on my land, and that I got to be a part of something so much bigger than myself. Knowing what I now knew about Quinn, my level of responsibility had to change!
OMG!!! What was I going to do now?
My entire life really was turned upside down that night as the rain of awareness washed away much of my sadness, and gave me hope! I also realized that Quinn's purpose was not to be simply hanging out with me all of his life, giving me massages and tending to the love ever expanding in our personal relationship. His role was way bigger than I could even fathom, and I KNEW for certain that his vortex was way more powerful and important than I had ever realized before. If I truly cared about people, there was way more work to do.
Thank you for reading my blog and for going on this journey with me toward Unconditional Love!
