I remember when Obama won in 2008, and a subgroup of weirdos came out of the sewers and immediately started attacking Michelle and people were outraged, and rightly so. So I figure those who do the same kinds of things now aren't much better. A more effective and enlightened protest is what happened at the Hamilton play with Pence...that was frickin' BRILLIANT! <3 Man to man, eyeball to eyeball, in front of the WHOLE world, HUEmanity put them on notice that we will not allow the clock to be turned back. That's how it's done....not by becoming what we despise, but by being what we love. 

Now as to "All this talk", I am guessing you are referring to the posts about war. If so, well, it's because we are forgetting that we have been killing people for 15 years. And because of that, at least 4 million HUEman beings are dead, tens of millions are wandering the planet looking for a safe place, and we will never know how many wounded are out there still suffering. I desperately seek to get someone, anyone to see that this is our true enemy. 

As long as we forget that misery on one race of people is being orchestrated in our name, way over there in the Middle East, I guess I figure we will have to slog and wade through our schizophrenic misery of resurgent racism here at home because maybe we really haven't really gotten rid of racism, or superiority, or bigotry in America, maybe we just outsourced it to Iraq,Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya...et al. Are we acting it out and calling it war to make ourselves feel better about what has been happening since 2001? 

Maybe I am crazy, but I feel it is important for us to see the correlation between "over there", and "over here". My motto is "Where we go, we go together" and that by it's very nature is all inclusive, HUEman, animal, flora, soil, air...our planet, which is also being indiscriminately bombed with something called depleted uranium(radio-active waste) in "war zones, and all the other contaminants that are part of our daily lives here at home. We are not just our words, because when the dust settles, we are remembered by our actions, or inaction and by what we leave behind for our children. 

I don't know what to say except that hate is still a problem in our country, so I guess it is an opportunity for us as a people to come to a place where we finally defeat it. We let this slide for far too long. We barely said anything when we learned that cops were beating African-Americans, Latinos, and Native-Americans to death in the streets of our cities. We didn't say anything when Obama deported 2.5 million people. Now hear me out, my love, OK? Perhaps Divine Wisdom is finally giving us a chance to eradicate hate by putting it back in our faces one last time. I looked it up, and it was in a girl's bathroom that "whites only" was scrawled, and no one knows who did it. I am betting that everyone at this school is rallying and becoming protectors, right? A few short weeks ago, everyone would just film violence and post it on youtube while they are laughing, but now we are standing TALL in negation of the abuses. See, a silver lining. A few days ago, a man in San Francisco put out a Nazi flag, and within minutes all his neighbors came out and demanded that he take it down. (~_~) I also know that quite a bit of those stories are fabricated. I will post two examples below. We are UNITING! BRILLIANT! We Americans haven't done that in a long time, a very long time! But at the same time it seems like we are splitting apart...perhaps maybe we are really being ripped out of our comfort zone, and because we have become so complacent that this is what it would take to wake us up. Now we have to be careful that we don't go over to the side of hate, which is what I am seeing. 

If we want love to triumph, we HAVE TO BE LOVE. <3 As to what you tell your children...well, what did you tell them the first time they faced a bully? Tell them that again. And to the victims of racial violence, inequality, and injustice....I tell them that we are FINALLY HEARING YOU! We are listening now with all our hearts. NOW society has the power to change, now we have the power to come into your inner cities with jobs, decent housing, opportunity, and excellent schools. NOW we see that you have been left behind and tormented just because of the color coat you wear to cover your eternal soul. NOW WE SEE, and what we see is LOVE and pain! 

Great Spirit never gives us more than we can handle, and Great Spirit never gives us something this huge unless we ask for it. Seven Billion HUEman beings came together at this time to HEAL this weeping wound. We never really healed it, we just looked away after the blood stopped flowing. We are still looking away, when we forget to remember the devastation wrought by America across the world, Vietnamese people, Korean people, Arab people, Serbian people, Panamanian people, African people, Palestinian people. Sounds absolutely racist to me, doesn't it to you, but it's over "there", we can't see it? See, this is why such pain has come home to roost in America, we have to face a mirror, and as soon as we do, we will stitch together our two factions, and finally move on our journey. We have been stuck in wars for the last 6,000 years. 

Until we stop killing the "other", we will be at war with ourselves. All I can do is love, I know no other way, and sometimes my love includes forcing myself to see what is ugly so that I can learn from it, and then use that learning to move vertically. If we start wars in the street because we don't like the outcome, then we will be telling the Universe that we are still addicted to war. We forget.... but NOW we ARE ENGAGED! (~_~) Hate become self-perpetuating. Life is weird though, we have become a narcissistic, self-serving society, corpulent almost with the way we live. We kind of manifested an amalgam of our collective selves in one personae, our new President. 


Thanks for the conversation, 
we will get through this. 
We will shine. I love you!!!! <3

Voting in the Age of Tits and Ass and Snakes in the Grass.

November 01, 2016

I voted today; absentee ballot because I am a stickler for seeing my choices written out on paper....it makes a noise that celebrates a creative act.  I walked over to the ballot box and hand delivered it with pride.  Call me old fashioned, but it is empowering to take a pen and confirm my values in a thick black streak of surety, and it is an honor to vote for the things that are aligned with my soul.

2016 is the most divisive and hateful year!  I have been attacked, verbally abused; called "conspiracy theory nutcase", "everything that is wrong with America", "you must be on heroin", "you are a stupid bitch",  "you live in outer-space", "idiot", "retard", "fucking asshole", and even "cunt"!  Most comments are from Hillary supporters on twitter, and most are women! (O_o) 

So...somewhere in this idiocy I realized with crystal clarity that there are two women running for President.  The one every one knows and doesn't really like but is going to vote for anyway because they are afraid of "Tangerine-Man", and the one who aligns the most with our values who was the long-shot but could win in a landslide if those who were unsatisfied would vote for her.  

I saw a woman march right over to North Dakota and stand with the Water Protectors, I saw a woman who is dedicated to ending wars, and handing sovereignty back to humanity.  I saw a woman who spoke words I would have spoken, and a woman who actually cared about the down-trodden.

I realized that The Divine Feminine Principle gave us a beautiful choice...yes we are ready for a Female leader, but will we choose one who is aligned with war, or one who is dedicated to peace.  We are making a choice for all of HUEmanity, and I want more than anything to be on the right side of HERstory! I want more than anything to be able to say that I voted for peace in 2016.
