The HELP Network on South Whidbey Island is truly amazing and I wanted to start the year off with a post about the many ways that people can find help on South Whidbey Island. People helping people is what it is all about.
Gary Zukov wrote in his book, The Seat of the Soul, that “millions of individuals are awakening, sometimes to their surprise, to a hunger for harmony, cooperation, sharing, and a reverence for Life. Their challenge is to create those things in a world of discord, competition, hoarding, and exploitation, a world in which life is a cheap commodity.”
There are in the neighborhood of one to two million organizations working toward ecological sustainability and social justice. This social movement is decentralized and has no specific leaders; hence no media following. Paul Hawken in his book Blessed Unrest noted that “This is the largest social movement in all of human history. No one knows it’s scope, and how it functions is more mysterious than what meets the eye.”
The HELP Network is a small but powerful part of this movement.
Hawken says “What does meet the eye is compelling: coherent, organic, self-organized congregations involving tens of millions of people dedicated to change. What I see are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in an attempt to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty in this world.”
It is very evident that we have our own movement right here on South Whidbey Island.
We have The HELP Network! By Clicking on their logo you can visit their websites or read a post that was done last year about the organization.
All of us working together to help strengthen our community! It’s a good place to start.
