I have just returned from an invigorating performance at Mulligan’s open mic. The focus of my lyrical improvisation was on the power of letting remorse into ones life with grace and serving power. I focus on Mr. Trump, as the government and wall situation should be the straw that finally gets the camel to shake of his load. But what if he found his own way to remorse? What a hero he could be if he were to face the gravity of his failures at leading the world. He does not represent a democracy by any logical or real interpretation of not only the word but of what that word means in the daily lives of the majority of the people the world contains.
What if he said to himself, “I had the money and power to take a chance at running the world and I got in over my head. This isn’t pro wrestling or television drama. This is the life of the planet. I will step down in humility and try to rectify my mistakes by helping those in need from the fallout of my presidency with the resources I have. What a wonderful and powerful message he could send to the 1%, and to the world of the rest of us. Perhaps he sees green, not the shades he’s used to bud the shades that grow and nourish, and led an evolution of true clean energy.
What sort of energy or action would it take to turn this wishful thinking into a reality? What can each of us do as people to fuel that energy? I believe that acts of love and togetherness, and importantly, forgiveness, to allow even the most lost to find the best in themselves in service to Life, are the methods of truly righting the wronged. It is hard to find absolute forgiveness in the face of reactionary pain-causing. It is hard to forgive oneself, and that might be why it is so important for others to forgive those who need to forgive themselves the most. Death and polarity doesn’t serve the cause of life and harmony, and why wouldn’t we want to serve life?
As we move forward as people I pray we do so with forgiveness through love. It’s not to late for anyone, even the President.
