Help!

This old world could use some help. Lots of help. Heaps of help. Hefty heaps.

This living planet, of which we are an inseparable part, needs somebody. 

Not just anybody. 

It needs you, and it needs me.

That is why the sweetest words are,

"I'm here to help. What can I do?"

In every conceivable situation we can ask  not what the moment can do for us, but what we can do for it.

Ask,

"Right here, right now, what can I do to help?"

Humans feel happiest when helping, or being helped. It is the natural way of things.

We have all heard that internal voice when we witness someone struggling. 

It says,

"You should help. Go help. Do it now."

How often do we heed its command?

The Earth and its Peoples are saying loud and clear,

"Won’t you please, please help me?"

How are we responding?

Humans feel happiest in the act of helping.

For if we aren't helping, what are we doing?
