The Autistic Yogi Reflects on the Flood in Calgary 2013

Today was another full day of work helping out the community of Mission in Calgary, Alberta. This is where I stayed the past couple months in Calgary up to the day of the flood.  

Seeing all the selfless people coming and taking part warms my heart and reinforces my belief that we will have a bright future.

If all that you can do is take a case of water or make sandwiches and take them to the men and woman that are hauling the refuse out then you are contributing something good.  When those of us who are capable of being on a worksite have others that bring us food and water that means that we can stay focused as a crew.
If all that you can do is open your house to a person or an animal then you have taken part in making this better.
If all that you can do is send love to those who are busy working then you too have taken part.
If you happened to take pictures and posted them you have done your part by allowing others to be aware of what is happening.

Awareness is a huge part.

If you are going to enter a community that is being cleared please be aware of where you park so that construction and emergency vehicles have a clear pass if and as they need.
Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

And please don't spread hate for any reason and speak in the language of love.
