COURAGE!

The Wizard of Oz is 84 years old! If Dorothy were to encounter men with no brains, heart, or courage,
she wouldn’t be in Oz. She’d be in D.C.

I need to push this point as a hostile takeover of our democracy is under way. I do end the post with a good counter-balance of humor from friends across the pond 🙂  Click and enjoy and keep the faith!

Courage does not live within the GOP. They respond to fear and to payoffs. Corruptions? Start with them who let this happen. Courage is not some strange concept. It is doing the right things in spite of those trying to “shut you up”! Fear not! That’s their tactic by creating chaos. But if you are of faith, you know you do not have anything to fear, ever. We always have a choice in how we respond to threats. Please be brave. We do see you among those who can show up. The helpers are among us everywhere; search them out. And Bless you as we come together to create a better future.

Courage is your willingness to not know.

To speak your truth. To walk your path.

To face ridicule and rejection.

To keep going, despite the voices in your head and the judgements of others.

And there are no guarantees you will make it.

Nobody can walk for you!

You walk in radical aloneness, naked in the face of life, no protection, no crutches, no external authority.

No ideology to save you.

No promises anymore.

Only the beating of the heart, and the air in the lungs, and the thrill and terror of being utterly free, and no longer numb.

And a knowing from deep within.

And the call of your ancestors.

And the ground holding you.

And the Sun warming you.

And the fragrance of love everywhere.

And warm tears running down your cheeks.

And this gorgeous vulnerability

which makes you unbreakable.

A funny video from over the pond that I think we need about now.
