'O guide our minds with thy blest light,
with love our hearts inflame;
and with thy strength,
which ne'er decays,
confirm our mortal frame.
Far from us drive our deadly foe;
true peace unto us bring;
and through all perils lead us safe
beneath thy sacred wing.'
Rabanus Maurus
Our Walk continues to the front door of the parliament. A group of 'Gilets Jaunes' is posing in front
of the entrance of the parliament. My eyes looked to Tou Louse who intuitively knew that my being wanted to go and listen to their message. She was hesitant yet she accompanied me in my approach.
A peaceful mind listens to the breath of the heart. No matter what it encounters, it is not influenced by outer circumstances that sing different tones than the melody of the song.
It is an art to sing together harmoniously. To pass on the spark of life with the vowels that sound like the voice of the heart.
It is having an ear for all vibes without losing the rhythm that unites all instruments with the choir of their stories.
We stood face to face with Bertrand Hélène and her companions. Together they formed a little group of Gilets Jaunes that expressed their protest symbolically in front of the European Parliament. Most of them came from the South of France. Regions Lézignan, Narbonne were mentioned. Even some people from Switzerland and Belgium were present. They were standing with their flag at the stairs while they made pictures of their symbolical protest against... yes against what?
My camera filmed the song by Bertrand Hélène who invited her fellow companions to join without result. While she was singing alone my eyes saw in the background the name of Altiero Spinelli. He is referred to as one of the founding fathers of the European Union.
His 'Ventotene Manifesto' seems far from what he envisioned during his imprisonment. It might be time to read his manifesto to achieve that international unity he aimed for.
After all these years we still faced the crisis in front of us with opposing voices that all want to be heard.
Where to start? Where to be the listening to screaming expressions of concerned souls that do love to find harmony with tones that surpass our hearts with fear, sadness, hate towards all who do not give a listening ear. My being felt innate compassion for this grandmother standing in front of me. Showing respect for your elders is coming deeply from within. We all know that from that source all is sprouting with good intentions for a better world.
Who is to blame?
'Let us walk each other home.' states Ram Dass.
Let's do it all together.
Let's do it all together.
