TAKE A LOOK, GUARDATE, TAKE AH LOOK
JUST AN INVITATION TO TAKE A LOOK ON www.dailykos.com to see my diaries. They are not secret diaries of all kinds of juicy stuff, but hopefully will give some juice to your own thoughts and spirits...so Welcome!
Christmas, Chanukah, the feelings inside waiting for a safe birth
There is no magic moment for something inside to be born. It's not even a matter of that, but rather for all that is within to feel safe enough so it can be tamed, and then expressed and known as much as possible.
And then we might awaken from our slumber and haze that block out what might be new for us, what is waiting to be discovered.
There is much on the agenda: Why are schools so boring?; Why does Whole Foods collect money for Rwanda and not the Congo or Zimbabwe or New York or Mississippi?; Why are we not discussing racism and how it is a river that still runs through our country?
Why are we not discussing global warming like it matters? And why and why and why? Even the right to ask why out loud has become so quieted in our gratitude for the election of Obama (of course, that would be about some of us) that we dare not bring up the stuff of what he did not dare bring up, the stuff that would have gotten him out before he got in?
Maybe a toast to the birth of the awareness of connection between what is going on inside and outside...If we own and honor the dark and light within, with some help, we might begin to see the connections between poverty and middle class well being....we might begin to think about letting our children think and then education might become exciting...
But if it did, it would make us question our values, why we are doing what we are doing...Perhaps it's too complicated for Christmas Eve...but if you think about the interconnectedness of all things, it is merely part of the day and the night....
Amen in whatever way makes sense to you....
