Election — Headless Now — Path — Sunrise

Election:

this is a high stakes election for many, viewed as one that could change the course of the nation, and emotions are heated on both sides of the political aisle. I obviously have my own preference and most people guess correctly through conversations and my writing. But I don’t talk about it as much as I used once did, there’s little need as I don’t need confirmation and I know that there’s little, if any, chance in changing anyone’s mind.

nor do I really wish to.

I simply live my life by values held dear.

kindness.

empathy.

compassion.

forgiveness.

trusting that others will arrive here on their own.

so with this I surrender the results of this election. I will vote, but refuse to take a side that pits me against another. I am not a political party and neither are you. We’re family, deeper still, we’re heart connected, belonging together as loving thoughts in the single mind of God. There’s no way I could ever take a side against you, an impossible task and one I will no longer even entertain.

whatever the outcome…

I will love you.

happily so.

~

Peace, Eric
