Can i love a politician? How about the human underneath?
Whats it like to care for someone i fear has lost all moral compass
through the nature of the political process, and can i stand the
fear of disapointment, as i imagine a man i respect and can open my heart for.
It's weird, i'm more comfertable loving those i imagine are evil
enjoing the fact they are causing pain to others.
what do i do, when i see myself in that mirror?

Desire, Love & Change
As the American Political rhetoric resounds with strong ideals accompanied by the fear and anger of those holding opposite opinions, my own life is shifting.
I never thought I’d be happy or at peace again, when it's here, i simply love it. Now i am seeing it as a choice, certainly it is an effort, I have been struggling with my inner relationship, and the patterns of which I have become so intimately aware of, that at times i see that i am only joy without them. These patterns are predominately anger and violence as well as the drive for happiness, intoxicating joy and when in pain the seeking of oblivion, all completely commonplace and human.
Which brings me round about to the Passing of Studds Terkal , Praises upon our newest Ancestor!
Now back to the latest circus to entertain Americans, to distract us from ourselves.
Democracy and Obama !
I listened to him for a minute, talking war with McCain, talking bout killing "enemies" terrorists, he made an impression on me, he convinced me he is ready to kill people he’s never met, just because we disagree. Ya,sure, he is the lesser of 2 evils. Which would you pick, Göring or Mengele ? I just have to point out that both McCain & Obama consider violence an acceptable moral option for not just themselves, but an entire country and by extension the human race.
I would like to be proved wrong, I would like to find that Obama actually accepts the teachings of Christ or the Prophet Mohammad. That he can live from the peace that comes with surrender of the ego, of might makes right, and of the whole catastrophe of being "humane" killers.
At some point in evolution of spirit and consciousness, as members of and representative of the human species, and most importantly as children of out mother planet, as representives of the gift of Conciousness, the voice of Awareness, we can choose peace and non-violence as a response to violence and aggression, (what we now call “terrorism”. And finally as we make this choice more and more often for our families, and ourselves, we will eventually ask it from our police, our teachers and our leaders.
I love to embody radical non-violent shift in my psyche, and so the world. I like to live in peace within my heart, and so in the world. I am happiest when I have lost “I” in the act of loving you, so perhaps we can lose or lay down our habits for a moment and simply love one another.
So i will practice letting go of these words of irony, of cynacism and pain.
I live in the joy of knowing what is true will remain.
