Thanks, Neil. Now, before today's announcements, rather than asking you to stand during the Star Strangled Banner, please raise a fist for Psalm 109:8
.
May his days be few; may another take his place of leadeship.
This is an ugly, brutal time in our country. We all could list a number of horrible things that the felon & co are unleashing in their attack on the Constitution and human decency. We are in the lines of Yeats' famous poem, where things are falling apart, as the center cannot hold, unleashing anarchy upon society.
When the outside world is spinning out of control, a Clan Mother once told me, go inside of yourself. That doesn't mean be afraid and totally withdraw. It means to take the time to be centered, to find balance. For it is when we are centered and balanced that we can put forth our best efforts to calm the outside storm.
When Jack Smith recently testified to the congressional committee, he quoted one of the felon's threats to his enemies: If you come after me, I'll come after you. No need to read between the lines. If he thinks an individual poses a problem, the felon will try to damage and destroy them. I've seen that, you've seen that. And what we are seeing now is the felon recognizing the country is turning against him, thus his attempt to damage and destroy the country.
An injured beast is a dangerous beast. I can say with 100% certainty that a hurt boxer is at their most dangerous. I had to be really careful in knocking them out if they were hurt and conscious. I needed to be centered, balanced, and absolutely calm to safely inflict the damage required to end the fight. So believe me when I say that at this time, we need to be centered, balanced, and kind of calm now, so that we can limit injury as we devastate our opposition.
We should be exercising our Amendment 1 rights. Call, write, and/or e-mail every elected representative from your state in DC. Attend rallies and public protests. Be centered, so that the emotional realities of the maga cult can not push or pull you off balance. Be both brave, and fully aware of your surroundings, including the others on the scene.
Stay informed, by way of the news, however you access it. Take care not to overload on it, though. I have a couple associates who, due to the very cold weather, have been staying inside for weeks, rarely leaving their homes. They have come to recognize that a bad news overload takes a toll. I recommend getting together in small groups and doing things like contacting representatives and making posters for rallies. Listen to music like Neil or Bruce or the Beatles.
We are in a tough battle. Despite the felon and his administration's constant attempts to up the ante with shrill threats and gross violence, we are actually in the best position we have been in since the felon again took office. This is the result of dedicated work by a large number of people, from the grass roots to offices in the House and Senate.
I will end with a question. Does anyone know if the new documentary on the first lady is what Alex was forced to watch eyes taped open in A Clockwork Orange?
