Kissing the Snake: Unearthing Beauty #18
I am torn. Not about who I am going to vote for. I am torn about my expectations. What do I expect from these leaders? This election and the state of affairs here in the US begs of us the question, what are we willing to do to embody change? Change is tough. Changes, many times, cause me to be uncomfortable. Change is going to come from inside each and every one of us. My house needs to be set in order. It's time for me to look in the mirror and ask myself, what do I really what for my country, for my community? What do I really want for our children? I know one thing that I want, and it is not something that I can buy at my bi-weekly trip to Goodwill. I want to live from and honor love, rather than fear. I wanted to feel so filled up, with grace and love from the inside, that it spills out onto this planet. I want to know in my bones that my safety, my satisfaction comes from the love of God, not from the great shirt I got for $3 at Target. Enough with the filling up from the outside in, let me spend some time in stillness and experience a satisfaction that runs deep; that is sustainable. It is not John McCain or Barrack Obama's job to make the change for me. I am in this equation. And so is Love.
