Being the Somebody
One
of my most favorite places to enjoy a walk in nature is at Fort
Flagler State Park. It's 1500 acres of beautiful forests with walking
trails and miles of beach that's bordered by piles of driftwood
in all shapes and sizes. The old parade grounds are now playgrounds
for kids, kite-flyers, and campers. There are old bunkers still
intact which are fun to explore and play in.
But
in my opinion, the best parts are the forests and the beaches. Especially
the beaches. They're always changing, due to the storms that erode
the sand cliffs and change the beaches from rocky to sandy. High
winter tides move the driftwood around or bring new driftwood in.
The same stretch of beach can be sandy one day and a week later,
rocky.
And
the views from the beaches are jaw-dropping. Mt. Baker (as pictured
above through the driftwood), Mt. Rainier, the Olympic Mountains,
Port Townsend, and all kinds of marine traffic. Ferry boats, sail
boats, giant container ships, tugs and barges, and more all pass
by Fort Flagler.
One
day as my husband and I were walking toward the beach by the old
lighthouse, we were appalled to see big pieces of white plastic
all over the ground by the huge rocks that edge the top of the beach.
Plastic sand bags had been put in place to keep the high tides and
winter wind storms from washing the salt water onto the land and
flooding it. The result was not that the land was protected, but
instead it was flooded as you can see in this photo. (The sign says
"No Vehicles Allowed").The high wind and water we'd had
during the winter tore the bags apart and their remains were left
as an ugly reminder of why we shouldn't use plastic sand bags.
The
next day I kept remembering that ugly plastic all over the ground.
At one point I said to myself, "Somebody should do something
about that.
They should pick up all that ugly and potentially dangerous plastic.
It could get out into the water and harm the sea life."
As
this thought cruised through my head, suddenly I heard another voice.
It said simply, "YOU are that Somebody."
Yep.
I was that Somebody. So the next weekend my husband and I went to
Flagler and spent a couple of hours picking up as much of the white
plastic remains as we could. Some of it was buried beneath sand
and without a backhoe we couldn't get it out. Still, we were able
to clean up about a third of the plastic and take it to the dump.
A
few days later we were getting our weekly groceries and I was relating
to the checker about my experience of being the Somebody. She told
me about an older woman who is another Somebody. She cleans up litter
in and around the town where she lives. The checker said she can
be seen in many different locales on her daily walk, picking up
other people's litter.
My
husband recently told me of another Somebody. He commutes to a job
site where he's currently working and at one section of the freeway,
the median is heavily strewn with litter that people have thrown
out of their vehicles. He has complained to me about it often. One
day shortly after we'd been Somebodies cleaning up the plastic at
the beach, he came home from work and told me about a Somebody he
saw on his drive home. A young man was in the meridian as he drove
by, picking up all the litter.
When you hear yourself saying, "Somebody should do something
about this," that's an important message meant for you. It
means that the Somebody is you.
Peace
and Love,
Kathy
Is
your life running on default programming?
Your
beliefs are stored in your subconscious mind. Neurological research
indicates that as much as 95% of your conscious brain activity
is controlled by your subconscious.
While
you may be unaware of their influence on you, the beliefs hidden
in your subconscious direct your actions, choices, and behaviors.
These subconscious beliefs create the filters through which you
respond to life's challenges, establishing the limits of what you
can achieve. Everything you do, think, and feel is governed by
your beliefs.
When
you change your beliefs, you change your life.
Become
a
master of your beliefs rather than a victim of their consequences.
Transform your old, self-limiting beliefs that sabotage your efforts
to change into new, self-enhancing ones that support change... in
just minutes!
