“A storm,” says G-Pop.
When the storm ceases, the healing needs to begin.
In what should have been a celebration of our democracy, our unity and our abiding purpose, the 2016 Presidential campaign has been a storm which has swept across our land, terrifying the citizens. Even those who prided themselves on being resilient, or were accustomed to boarding up their feelings to protect themselves from the onslaught, have been shocked by the fury of the blast.
It is certain that November 9th will still usher in a season of great conflict which will require sane people of hope and faith to step in and restore healing.
What will the healing be? The removal of complexity, providing a path to simplicity.
We will have to stop being Republicans, Democrats, old, young, people of color, white, poor or rich, and instead, nurture ourselves on the beliefs that have eternal power and everlasting worth.
G-Pop has decided to be a contributor to the common good. It doesn’t make him special–but it does make his mission purposeful.
Three treatments will be necessary to set in motion the remission from stupidity and the beginning of restoration:
1. Love your neighbor as yourself.
There’s no replacement for it. “No one is better than anyone else” is not a slogan, but rather, a constant reminder that attempting to find differences stymies commonality.
2. Take responsibility for your own life.
Stop blaming the government, abortion, the gay community or Wall Street. Count your pennies, and find things you can buy for a penny. Count your talents and multiply them. And count your blessings and be thankful.
3. Be of good cheer.
Good cheer is not happiness, but rather, a road map to get to it. It is a decision to maintain peace and stillness in the midst of the storm. For I will tell you–the storms are not gone. There are more coming.
So we must heal, but also prepare.
G-Pop offers this definition for our strength:
Nothing happens until we show up; nothing is over until we give up.
