He asked, “If you could choose one super-power, what would it be?”
I thought for a moment and asked, “Do you mean like ho’okipa (hospitality)? Or Aloha (compassion)? Or perhaps, Kuleana (responsibility)?…I think Ho’okipa would be cool!”
“I was thinking something along the lines of invisibility or flight.” Those might be fantastical, but can hospitality be a super-power? I would think it is pretty rare and it is something that would be unique to each person.
Consider a super-race of people who have powers like kindness, compassion, love, inter-connectedness, responsibility or other such traits. By today’s standard that would be an amazing race of man-kinds greatness embodied.
As I read this article about a Mayan elder’s perspective on the Mayan Calendar and 2012, it seems to hinge on one thing; the “Ha” or Ether; the invisible connection between everything. That element that creates the inter-connection which then opens communication, creates hospitality and integrates everything. Carlos Barrios, Mayan elder and Ajq’ij (is a ceremonial priest and spiritual guide) says, “Within the context of Ether there can be a joining of the polarities. No more darkness or light in the people, but an uplifted unity.”
As we work on the theme of Balance in Uncertainty, take a moment and connect to your breath. When we allow our body to soothe and relax, it is with the breath. Call it meditation. Call it visualization. Call it yoga or running. All connect our physical being to the great connection, the breath.
Balance, especially in difficult times, is created by slowing down and taking the time you need to be where you are. Slow down and breathe.
