The Human Race
It is wonderful to realize that there is only one race, the human race.
We have everything in common with each other, including needs and solutions.
Starting with the physical environment, we all live on the same planet.
I am always impressed with the story of George Washington Carver, who came up with so many solutions.
His deep appreciation of the beauty of Nature gave him his perspective, not the times he was living in.
His ability to discover and share what he observed gave him the ability to create abundance in agriculture.
He benefitted others far more than they benefitted him.
Overcoming the handicaps of blindness and deafness through the devoted work of her tutor, Anne Sullivan, gave Helen Keller the ability to benefit others of all races.
The seed saving initiative developed by Dr. Vandiva Shiva is benefitting the entire human race.
Nelson Mandela’s resistance to apartheid in South Africa, even though he spent decades in jail, benefitted all those who were being hurt by it, of all races.
We may be curious about a particular aspect of industry.
Botanical Colors, a natural dye company started by Kathy Hattori, is benefitting the entire human race, through education and its’ products.
As we listen for personal solutions, we are contributing to the upliftment of the human race.
Tama Kieves focused on creating a life she loves and wrote about it after facing despair in her highly educated profession in law.
We see the results, first in our own life, then, in the lives of others.
Nancy Swisher is helping women develop their own voice as a result of searching for hers.
We may be drawn to a group which helps people take steps toward healing in their own lives.
Janet Laird hosts Art for Insight, introducing techniques for managing trauma through art and writing.
We may be drawn to a group which practices high ideals.
Dave Huston started Curious Knights of Coimbra, Portugal, a service organization which picks up trash in his adopted city.
We may create ways to support people in healing their own life.
I create weekly series of art and affirmations which directs my focus on a healing vocabulary to redirect my own life.

We all have valuable ways to contribute to the well-being of the human race, when we listen within for an uplifting idea.
