I’m relieved Obama won — with huge reservations — but I’m not happy that Proposition 37 didn’t pass in California. And I’m very happy that Elizabeth Warren won in Massachusetts and Alan Grayson won in Florida. I’m unhappy that Monsanto might take down the ecology of the entire planet and I’m happy/unhappy that ___, etc.
I wonder what’s the derivation of the phrase, “getting thrown from pillar to post?”
In the wake of storms and elections, hateful perpetrations, and inspiring stories of courage and caring, it is easy to become worried or unhappy or optimistic or elated about the state of our lives or of the world. ‘E-motions’ truly are energy in motion and can wear you out.
There is a lot of fear energy and many negative thought forms blanketing this planet. Whether you believe the fear has been manufactured on purpose or that the sensations you are feeling are yours only, what matters always is how you move with it inside of you.
How well do you process or transcend or expand or embrace or accept? Can you hold peace, reach out in service with generosity and a smile, be joyful anyway? Can you reach up to find the love energy that is also always available?
It is all perfect, you just don’t like it that way.
