St Patrick’s Day Immigrants
We all are immigrants in the sense that we migrated to
new places, new jobs, new families.
Our people
came to this country to start a new life of freedom with responsibility,
We all were
born into this world to find a better way to live and give, to learn and
earn.
Most of us
learned quickly that we need to work and study, get along and contribute.
We are born into this world to begin our own new life.
We join our
family system to align with their principles and values.
We move
into our communities with the need to participate and contribute.
We go to
our jobs with an assignment to work and follow rules for accomplishment.
This is the natural path of all peoples, even as we may
assume that we belong here.
We often
believe our origin is to be taken for granted.
We either
accept our assignment and learn to communicate or we don’t.
There are
many who continue to feel they don’t fit and are stay separate and alien.
All of us can begin to understand, in some sense we are
all foreigners.
Some are
pioneers and some need to be welcomed.
Some hold
the early history and some know nothing at all.
Yet, all of
us need to be aware our country is new and so are we.
How much easier it is to welcome one another.
How much
more effective it is to work together.
How much
more prosperous it is to share what we have.
How much
more fun it can be when we fully appreciate what we doing.
Life is indeed fun, safe and easy when we join one
another.
All of us
can be new in our new and ever-changing world.
We can
connect with open-mindedness and appreciation.
We can
learn about one another with interest and respect.
As a human family, we can stop excluding and learn to
accept our differences.
As a
culture, we can enjoy the inclusion of all talents and abilities.
As the
greater humanity, we can stand together in our strengths.
We are here
to join and work with one another for the good of all.
Perhaps we judged because we were comparing.
Perhaps we
hated because we were afraid.
Perhaps we
forgot we are all born free to choose.
The hard
working peoples who came to build a new future were a source of inspiration and
greater good.
Let us celebrate all peoples joining together from many
lands, many beliefs, values, and histories.
Let us
value one another and how much we have to give to one another.
No one
greater or lesser….everyone worthy and a Source of more Good for all.
Thank you
to my brothers and sisters for bringing your unique ideas, beliefs and
resources.
Blessings to us all, wonderfully unique as we are.
