First cold Friday in November...thoughts and wishes.

This is most certainly an incredible time to be alive.

I thought "hope" was what I felt when we elected Obama; this current is pouring forth from an entirely different wellspring.

I was 17 when the planes hit the two towers. A decade later, I feel my power returning.

Not just mine, all of ours, the collective. It's a cautious excitement, but an excitement nonetheless.

What joy to witness a movement that truly cuts through all ideological lines, you know? An evolution from the power center to the heart, a visible, upward moving connection.

The stakes are higher than they have ever been. And we are rising to the occasion.

I changed over to a credit union today. I was tempted to hop into H&M and peruse the fall merchandise, but I abstained; as alluring as those prices are I am committed to bolstering community with every action, this includes where I use mah monies.

The stakes feel higher inside too. No more lies. No more shirking responsibility. Most of all, no more excuses.

I am so tired of excuses.

May each moment be an opportunity to serve the highest. May we all have the courage to be nonviolent harbingers of TRUTH.

Tomorrow 11am I am assisting Katchie's class, then quick lunch, then will be heading down to march if anyone wants to join...

I'll leave you with this, it's been keeping me going all week, by the incomparable Martha Graham:

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open."
