As I wrote about the T Party and Republican obstructionism
yesterday, I felt a little guilty. After all, here I am a metaphysician wanting
to practice forgiveness, inclusiveness and cooperation, ranting about my
brothers and sisters. We are better together. I know that. I know about how
gerrymandering creates safe rightist districts which in turn creates the fear
of being primaried. I also know how good it feels to operate from a place of
fearlessness and inner guidance and this frustrates me.
I want so much for my T Party and Republican brothers and
sisters to know this too. I want so much for them to rise above their
fear-based ideology and get in touch with the humanity they share with the rest
of us and see how much their ideological ‘purity’ creates and adds to the
present pain, discomfort, and discontinuity so many of their fellow human
beings are experiencing - that they need not experience.
What’s going on now, need not be, it’s self inflicted. We
ARE better together. Can’t we ALL understand that and work together to reduce
our present difficulties? Yes, we
can. Will we? Well that seems to be up
to a handful of ideologues, approximately 30 of them in the US House of
Representatives and 20 in the US Senate. Fifty people impacting the lives of hundreds
of millions here and around the world…. Wow!
