To lift this sad day off of the ground a little - I have a personal mantra - This Too Is God. Trust it all. There are actually many advantages to Bush having to take all of the responsibility for his creation. Our country needs to go through a kind of death/rebirth just like we as individuals have had to do. What real change looks and feels like --- is the death of a way of life!

If Kerry had won we would have celebrated the fact that our polar opposite position was the correct one. Only the small changes in our world can be affected with our votes and good intensions. Real, necessary, powerful change do not work quite the same way. There is always a third and unseen entity waiting to emerge that incorporates the two polls we humans get caught up in. This third entity is what we have been waiting for and the change that brings it about happens in the most unexpected, miraculous of ways.

We have done our best to defeat the shadow of our creation in America and just because we failed doesn't mean we have to stay pitted in our self-righteous position --as much as we believe it to be the correct one.

Apparently it was not! So what IS? -- for sure not Bush. We are waiting to find out what the new position is. Trust and stay attentive and don't become complacent, indifferent and mostly don't become discouraged.

Trust your life enough to fiercely live your own truth -- have the courage to face those aspects of denial within yourself and all will be well--- you will exist in a world within a world and that world is hugely supported by the all of the work we did on the consciousness front over the years. It is the like-minded people who have done and are doing their work who are holding the larger dream. Our attentitiveness and personal work will put is in the best seat in the house to be "At-one" with the wildly alive process of real change.
