The Democratic Convention is now history. If you are old enough to remember the 1960s, the war in Viet Nam, civil rights demonstrations and Martin Luther King’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech, like I did, then you too were moved by this new chapter in our country’s history. Seeing Barack Obama, an African American, accept his party’s nomination as president of the U.S. was an incredible moment.
If you are too young, hopefully you have had enough exposure to our country’s history to know REGARDLESS of your political affiliation, that we were all witnesses to history. I, like many other African Americans shed tears for hope, dreams deferred, and promises of a brighter tomorrow. All those that went before us, to make changes in this county, did not do so in vain.
As a Lightworker, (One who feels called to help Earth and her inhabitants by way of using spiritual energy.) I feel compelled to assist the planet by using my spiritual power, and as a citizen of the world I also feel compelled to speak up for any injustices I see.
For some, a Lightworker should take a neutral stand in the political arena and ”hold the light” on any particular issue. I do hold the light on all that makes up our world by sending peace, compassion and hope out, but I feel I must also be a voice for those who do not have one. Some of us must speak up, I believe it is a duty for all citizens of the world.
With that in mind, I will continue to write about topics in the news, hopefully with a slant on finding common ground so that we all have a chance to experience that which makes America great.
As Barack Obama said in his acceptance speech, we may disagree on the solutions for America’s issues that so many of us face, but we can find common ground where ”…the promise of a democracy where we can find the strength and grace to bridge divides and unite in common effort.”
This too is my prayer, that we can find the common ground where all of America’s citizens may live lives of peace, prosperity, compassion, hope, courage and freedom.
Namaste’
