Documenting me

I am watching short films on www.pangeaday.org - what beautiful inspirations and love, and most of all, humanness - from many different corners of the world... it occurs to me suddenly that all of these filmmakers knew and were compelled by their inner compass that this is what they must do - even beyond the making of the films - that they must have felt they needed to speak up for peace, that they must be a journalist, that they wanted to document human hope, despair, love... that they have a story they must tell.

In the same way I know I want to be in healing - and have always known - that it must be a way of life for me.

Putting this down in words is as if I am staking down a flag or signpost for myself - on my own journey - that I will always remember this act of documentation - even on days when I have to walk through darkness or storm.
