One Good Thing

One good thing
One good thing at a time
In opposition
To the bad things that have happened or may occur
One good thing
One good thing at a time
This is how we build a successful life
Even the smallest positive good thing can change a situation
Or a person
Or even a nation
Or even a world
If properly understood
Properly appreciated
Properly experienced
Properly absorbed and followed

How do we get along?

How do we get along?

Just one more step
One more step at a time
One more love
One more good thing
One more task being finished
Enjoyment, wherever possible.
That is how we get along.

I just wrote...

one of the happiest gospel songs I have ever written,

And it's not because I always write gospel (do like to sing it) and it's not because I'm happy all the time these days (far from it) but it's because I live and breathe and have wonderful communities like this to share things with.

And just reached out to some of the hippest most spiritual people I know on Facebook and on the planet and I felt a vibe and I feel a vibe where I'm knowing we have go to reach out and love and communicate with each other more than ever before. And drown out this despair we can e feeling with a joyful and righteous noise.

And I remember Kamala preaching in the churches she visited just in the last few weeks.

And this is time, as good as ever, for us to community ourselves and to invite others in as well - those who pay adherence to reality and good things. And we need to keep up the clamor until it's just about impossible to misalign and misrecognize.

And one of my students tonight spoke about how a teacher can reach out and influence a student out there with the smallest little gesture. And so too, can we all, reach out and not only comfort each other but lend a helping hand and a little bit of consciousness.

And if you know how to sing, then sing, and if you know how to preach then preach.

And then I also thought tonight, and I know those who don't believe such things may or even will scoff, but I thought, "I am a divine vessel of God and no Donald Trump is going to do anything about that!!!

Here's what I am saying - we've just got to keep putting out the most joyful and righteous noise we can to drown out all the dysfunctional nasty messages from the other side - in whatever form they come in and to turn our own firehoses of creativity on in in whatever medium and practice and dimension we can muster. And we can sustain ourselves and find community and work with purpose and change the world and enjoy the heck out of ourselves while we do it. And the other side, well, they have long since forgotten how to experience true pleasure or to party and that shows in all their affairs. They are the sad ones, in the lack of wisdom, experience, and joy - not us.

And on that I say Amen.

To my Republican friends, I would just say the world looks a lot brighter...

if you just pull your head out of Donald Trump's ass!!!!

I understand all the lousy feelings about polls and data on early voting. However,

Aren't we convinced by the news and data that a sizable percentage of Republicans will vote for Kamal Harris?
Witness Liz Cheney, to the point of even campaigning with our fantastically adept candidate Kamala Harris.

The Republicans and Independents who are voting early - isn't it just as likely they are voting for Harris/Walz as Donald Trump and that other scum?

Malingering Malaise

When you think about it, all Trump and the Trumpers do is complain, complain, complain. Same thing was true with the Tea Party Movement. Just a bunch of whiners and complainers who never do anything but spread hate and fear and division.

I hope that Vice-President Harris and Coach Walz keep showing what a cowardly bunch of losers these types are. Their negativity is no way to run a country, no way to win.



With humor and joy and straight-talking common sense, we are taking it to the mat, like i've been wishing Democrats would do for a long time. We have the policies and programs and positions that they claim 70% of the country favors. VP Harris and Coach Walz are putting this in plain common-sense terms that MAKE SENSE out of a world that has veered into the insanity of Trumpism too long!

Malingerers. Spreading Malaise. Enough!!!!!! (I'm talking about Republicans here, folks, just to be clear. Negativity is pretty much all they've got. But yes, we can do our own est job of pivoting to positivity when we can. The only way that positive things can happen out of the negatives.)

It's as if the sad, lonley, bitter life and delusions of one egomaniac can threaten the well-being of a nation, which it has. I'm loving the contrast that our teams makes. And the thoughts and the feelings that we can end this kind of nightmare this time, right now.

Time for a can-do America again.

KamALPHA Harris

I am so impressed with the campaign that Kamala Harris is running so far. It is fresh, it is invigorating, while at the same time championing so many ideals that so many have held dear for so long. It is smart. It iis well-spoken.

And while she is brilliant at speaking "Truth to Power" in a way that few do, she is also really taking it to the man. I mean directly at him. Slam dunk. In your face.

That is what is mentioned here in this video at about 8 minutes in:

And yes, in addition to the other magnificent things she is doing, she is exhibiting the ALPHA qualities that can help win this election.

Many qualities shine brightly in a true leader. A true leader appeals and need to appeal to many people. In order to be followed an trusted, it is so important to know that you care. And can we admit, however, how thrilling it is to really take it to the basket, to really drive through the routine like a Simone Biles, to really belt it out like Whitney Houston or Aretha Franklin or Beyoncé or Mariah Carey or Adele or Céline Dion (name your favorite).

Kamala Harris has been really driving the message home in a way that is truly inspirational. And she can do all this and laugh at the same time. Plus the gestures she uses and the looks she gives when telling Donald Trump "I will show Donald Trump what real leadership looks like" and tells us "Believe me when I say - I know Donald Trump's type" are golden.

I can't be the only one that is thrilled to see the "in your face" intensity coupled with the grace of her other proclamations.
Donald Trump is well over-due for some "in your face" action.
And she can spike the ball in his face and on his foot and all over the place for me while she is at it.

the hidden smackdown in "Believe me, I know Donald Trump's type!"

I don't know who is writing speeches for Kamala Harris or whether she is doing this largely herself, but the smackdown punchline of "Believe me, I know Donald Trump's type." is very strong. Coupled with a look that is priceless and the roar of the crowd.

Behind the straight ahead Perpetrator - Prosecutor metaphor that is played so well, doesn't this do one other thing?

In the world of sexual predation that Donald Trump is so familiar with, "she's not my type" is a line he often uses to try to disassociate from women he had been involved with. Or just to categorize them in general.

With this line, Kamala Harris basically alters the roles of predation. She is predator and he is prey.
She "knows his type".
That is the twist that is really extra delicious.

This is one savvy candidate and long may she show this to the world.
And kick ass.
And win with us this election and our freedom from Trump and our liberties and our rights and a much better life and world for all of us.

PERPETRATOR

I don't think there is another word quite as apt to describe Donald Trump as PERPETRATOR.



Long may he be remembered this way.
To his detriment.
To his LOSS.
To his fading into the sands of time.

Love it when Kamala describes perpetrators she has known and when she says, "Hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type."

Bring it on!

It's about time he was fully prosecuted!!!

Fired Up and Ready to Go and Fight, Flight, Freeze

Fired Up and Ready to Go
This is a powerful statement used during President Obama's campaign to encourage positive action.

It seems clear that the base or a least large parts of the base, AND the general American public, are Fired Up and Ready to Go and FIGHT for Democracy. For many of us, this means supporting the Biden/Harris ticket.

However, there are those who are looking into other options and plans to consolidate around..

For me I have been especially concerned at all the structural hurdles something like this faces. And these seem like legitimate concerns.

And I was criticized a little in a previous post for calling these folks "enemies". I would like to point out that I DID NOT call them enemies. I said they may start to look like enemies. There is a difference.

And in any situation, and particularly a complex situation like this, it is important to consider the polarities at work. And there are always polarities in life, aren't there? As Gurdjieff once said, "every stick has two ends".

So, it's a question of which end do you hold onto? Which end do you choose? Or something in-between?

In every instant and every situation. And sometimes it doesn't seem to resemble a conscious choice, but a primal action. Like fight, flight, and freeze. And these are powerful and not to be denied either.

So, I'm saying that the base and many other people are primed and ready to fight. Fired Up and Ready to Go. This is a legitimate resource to use. And too often Democrats seem to ignore or under-utilize the extreme power and energy and fired up passion of their base!!!

I am praying and working for solutions that utilize the fight we already have and do not create disorganization of that which we already have.

And I'm saying there have to be solutions that utilize the best of us, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and unify the rest of us. And in the midst of this we always have to work towards Unity and Messaging and Strategic Thinking.

Power On, in the ways you think contribute to the common good and the answers we all seek in order to move forward and WIN against Potential Tyrant Trump and his followers. To also wake up and encourage those who seem stuck in freeze in order to do effective action.
