Hope for a Paris Agreement

I just got home from the Vigil for the Paris Climate Conference. In an Asheville city park, maybe a hundred of us made a circle on the wet grass at twilight. Our many colorful umbrellas gave a festive feeling to our gathering, despite the light rain. The Green Grannies led us in song and then invited people to spontaneously speak their hearts. Five or six did so, in a most heartfelt manner expressing their hope for our planet’s healing. UN host of the Conference, Christiana Figueres, has said that a Paris Agreement is possible, necessary and urgent. Hope–the stance that what we want is possible—lifted our vigil circle up, up, up. I almost expected to see some of us rising into the air with our fabulous umbrellas. Though we were not physically drifting over Paris, our intentions were doing so, radiating to the one hundred and forty seven heads of state now there for the Paris UN Climate Conference. I say with Jan Buckley who posted this comment on amplified.com: We all are part of the One Heart. May all those who are attending the climate conference in Paris sense they are held within this loving embrace and feel mysteriously inspired and encouraged to protect our Mother, the Earth and all her inhabitants.
