THE RNC: Red, White and it Blew

8Sep2008 Filed under: Election '08, Direct Action Author: admin

A guest post I wrote over at The Art of the Possible.

On September 4th I finally decided how to cast my November vote. With McCain’s VP choice, the stakes have risen, as have, ridiculously, the polls in favor of the duo, err…pretty lady. It’s as much about Palindrone being underqualified to serve the position as it is the Republican party being overqualified at manipulation of, and marketing, to the people.

In the nine days just passed, I kept a journal of events that inspired, shocked, disgusted and quite honestly scared the hell out of me. And it’s not just the Elephants that scare me, it’s the herd which applaud their trumpet.

Thanks for that. I make a point of avoiding politics until I have to pay attention (such as making up my mind on who to vote for). I had a hunch about this time’s candidates, but this was a lovely summary.
Safe scooting to ya, when you get your wheels back.

WALL OF BELIEFS

Add your own...

Peace is the absence of obsession. When absent objectivity blossoms and a doorway opens to connect with each other as well as with that which could not previously be seen. Work to identify obsession its root and its influence in our life and those we can care for.

Peace is the alignment of the head with the heart, the heart with the head, and the spirit moving in both.

Even during the wrath of the myraid cosmic winds, the attacks by earthly being's desires, or the depths of eminant death and despair, one mind stays perfectly still and bright, this is everlasting peace.

Personal peace is feeling content and happy in the moment. More difficult to obtain is the larger peace, in which everyone is able to feel this way.

Peace is the sun rising on the day I see you again.

Peace is being here now, paying attention, and knowing that every move, every thought, feeling, action can be a choice toward peace. At the funeral this morning for my neighbor's mom, I saw peace in the loving embraces and tears that brought us all together to celebrate the life of Dorothy. She inspired everyone with her peace and love. Just days before she died, she had a dream and woke to say, over and over, "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

Thanks, Alix, for asking us to write what is peace. Thanks for riding your scooter all around the country, and for being here now. Beautiful!

Peace: absence of violent and hateful conflict. Abundance of love, compassion, and compromise.

Peace to me is, simply, empowerment to follow what is in your heart, given by and shared with those around you. It requires mutual trust and respect and selflessness to cultivate and blossom.

Peace is hard because fully practicing it leaves one vulnerable, and that makes many of us feel uncomforatable. I think that explains a lot of the non-peaceful actions committed in our world. Those who work on behalf of peace rarely achieve what is commonly defined as riches and rewards but, I suspect, earn something far more valuable.

Peace is not just an act or a state of being but it is also an embodiment. Peace is you, Alix. Thank you for following your heart and sharing it with all of us.

Awareness and Intent.
It seems so easy, but so sloppy and graceless, to live without these things and therefore they become, for me, keys to peace.

It is with these things in mind (of mind) that Alix has found her peace and the strength to keep it.

I support her. I support you. You are peace.

Peace is opening your mind and heart to change!
Alix, You must realize that you have signified change in people across the nation,...we have kept you in our thoughts and hopefully if you are ever in our neighborhood you'll stop by....you have not only opened our mind by our heart to peace for everyone. Keep it up and hopefully it ripply in the the individuals thoughts across the nation.

I have many long and short definitions for peace. Today, it is each moment that I am so still inside that everything outside of me is a beautiful expression of that which I also am, no matter what. Loving the expression of needs met and unmet and awaiting spirit's prompting as to what my response in each moment shall be.
