Yes I feel everyone's sadness in this. But perhaps we could expand our perspective out into the macrocosym too.

In my awareness, Gaia needed this experience for her own karma just as humanity has too. You might like to take a peek at this...

So yes it's tough. But the healing will be our processing and integration through the challenge we've now set ourselves - to live with respect and compassion, not because it is going to 'save anyone's bacon' (so to speak), but simply because it is the right thing to do. And not because it will have some positive manifestation (like saving the Earth in the 3D), because often that's an attached fear based attitude too. There's an incredible opportunity here...what if we can only accept what is inevitably going to come; what if we can't change a thing (in the outside world)? What if we can see it as an opportunity to be all that we can be. Not because of some reward, some achievement or the realisation of some goal. How about just doing it because it's the right thing to do?
