Feeling in a dark hour right now,
something about facing challlenges at home.
My Faith, that I have had earlier in the day,
is tired and my guard is down.
I am reading this email that came by way of
John Goode.
It gives me a healthy disctraction.
I like this paragraph so far:
Obama's belief in the best in us, offering the opportunity to transcend ourselves and be greater than we have been, is the sign of an inspired and even a transcendental leader. We have heard much about what this election has meant for black people, and all who love humanity are rejoicing for them. Yet Obama has also brought a great gift to white America , and we all stand taller and feel better about ourselves because "we have overcome." After the election, many people remarked how people of different races were making more eye contact and smiling at each other, as if seeing each other for the first time. African Americans feel seen by whites in a new way, because one of their own has been recognized and accepted by the larger society.

A Practical Visionary and Brilliant Organizer
Obama has emerged as a brilliant and inspired orator, gifted strategic thinker and champion organizer. It is interesting to note that in the early days, when people would ask, "Well, how do we know you are competent to be president?" he would say, "Watch how I run my campaign." The world has watched and been awed by what he has accomplished, starting with nothing but a clear vision of what he wanted to share with the American people, and then building the most innovative and powerful campaign in modern political history. He brought millions into the electoral process, and was supported by small donations from millions of people. He said he began with "little more than faith in the American people, and that faith has been justified."
A brilliant organizing ability is one of the signatures of the new, spiritual energy that is flowing into the world in this cycle, which grounds idealism in practical solutions. This energy, calling forth Spirit from within matter, reorders the world to allow for a greater circulation of resources, love and creativity to every part of the planet. The economic cleansing currently underway paves the way for an eventual reordering with greater integ Inspiration and insight from the "Center for Visionary Leadership"
Dear All,
I thought this was extraordinary and worth the long read. No matter how you voted, Obama is our president elect and for those who supported him, this will confirm what many of us hoped, and for those who didn't, maybe this will make you feel just a bit better about him being elected.
Much love and light,
