government
to support and continue to support "government" takes all of my "available" energy.
now that my daughter is in high school, it takes very little energy in the traditional "mom" role i have been playing for 15 years now, and the shift of my focus and attention, while still "Mom First," I have focused on maintaining and consenting to a government that is competent and worthy to maintain.
today, we know our government is incompetent across the board if we just take a simple view at voter disengagement, disconnection and lack of involvement in the communities across our nation. it concerns me as Governor Brown here in California does the license driver automatic voter registration here, that our elections will now never be able to be representative of the people or even begin to know what the people do and do not consent to for its government without a real revolution. (i do not share the enthusiasm for this week's announcement, even though i'm thrilled everyone will be automatically registered to vote if they use the driver license system. =)
many talk about that need -- real revolution -- i most definitely see the need for a revolution of the mindsets of those who engage in the roles of politicians in the game of politics here on this planet with the extreme situation brewing in the climate world. sometimes, the weather helps us find our ways too =)

Everyday Is A New Day
Each and every day is unique. Oh, sure, sometimes the routine of our days mold days after days that seem the same, yet each one is new, different and has its own unique experience.
I have found in doing my work as a peace activist, keeping that thought on the forefront of our conversations and communications allow different thoughts to come from all kinds of sources and people.
Know that each moment, each day is a special time to create something better than what is, and that everyone you meet or experience is here to do it along with you. Listen carefully, speak accurately and live in the true reality that your experience has lead you to find in the day you are living.
Participate in the government if you believe government is a good thing for our communities, nation and planet -- if you do not participate in the government, our government will fail like it is today.
Go on, go to your next city council meeting or public utility meeting and learn the way of integrated living as part of the structure that creates the world you experience every single day.
