Living on an island has encouraged me to stay connected through virtual means, social medias, face-to-face calls, letters and emails.
The tone of the conversations I have heard since the 2016 Presidential elections includes,
- * pain
- * outrage
- * blame
- * depression
- * struggle and lots of questions.
Many of us in the USA have been "knocked off our pins", as the old saying goes.
And that is GOOD!
We had assumed that all was well within our country even though deep down we would have had to admit that people in the USA were in trouble:
- homelessness
- mental illness
- addictions
- disease
- poverty
- hunger.. shall I go on?
And yet, many of us were walking around in a bubble... and thinking that "when... fill in the blank... is the leader, we will be fine.
Blinders.
This morning I came across a posting that I made on November 13, 2012. It is just as relevant now. My question is, 'WHY" are we still in this situation? The answer is clear, Because we have not participated in doing our work, personal, collective and as a country.
I have made a deep commitment to gathering in community to participate FOR the life, country and world that Benefits All.
Here is the Facebook Post: A place I land after the election and Sister Giant is that we live in a dysfunctional country. That is not a good or bad or blame.. Dysfunctionality means that there are attitudes and actions and decisions that do not build quality relations within a system... home, business or country. Until we acknowledge where we are, we cannot go to a new place.
