Each day we encounter signals from others; just little messages in the air we snag from fragments of conversations we are necessarily connected with. In the United States almost every kind of conversation seems available for reading things into; and those words can often be used for ill by strangers hearing tidbits of what is said from a distance.
It's like a constant little game of figuring out what's going on: I heard that she/ he was not happy about xy, or she/ he became ecstatic when they heard xyz. In the political world, right now, this year more than ever, it is the unsaid but not unknown things that circulate around that do harm to the vital political process where we will elect a U.S. President.
Buckle-up, strap-in, get ready, and in every place, on every day, we must push-back the lies and half-truths about our candidate. Never give in, never surrender to the waves of pernicious words and outpouring of slander.
Senator Barack Obama is a good man, a great leader; and his shining light of honesty and hope can help us working within the campaign to continue to "do the right thing" - to remember to keep going out as honest folk trying to make progress every single moment - and so we encourage each other to go all the way until November 4th.
Then, after November 4th. we will have made a mighty, humane, progressive, socio-political movement that will give us what I think we really desire; access to that deep-seated yearning for human connections, open doors to an amazing diversity in our lives, and most of all, we will be well on the way to succeeding in finding paths of reconciliation in the oldest conflicts.
These are the best days of our lives.
HW
