In Australia, amidst a tale of such overwhelming loss, a result of the worst wildfires ever, the basic goodness of the human spirit shines through.
A Shepparton man, Peter Black, heard about a family that lost everything and said he was overcome with emotion. Such was the impact that yesterday he drove his six-month-old Dodge Caravan to their town, to give it away.
“It just brought tears to my eyes, it’s devastating to hear people lost their lives. I just wanted to do something,” he told ABC.net.au
Bless him. What a kind hearted man.
This is a good example of the shift in consciousness that is going on around the world. Human beings are connecting and realizing that we are one life force in the world. Peter is simply helping himself and all of us and yes, it is good. But the new world is transcending the notions of good and bad, right and wrong. We don’t need them anymore. All we need is to be present to life, ourselves and each other. We then know, as Peter did, what action to take.
