HOPE

A nerve wracking election has ended and the bigger task is at hand--Getting the country back on track.

I watched the results tonight alongside my family and friends and it was such a moving sight to see so many hopeful faces. From all walks of life, all ages, all races---I have never seen that kind of optimistic hope since JFK.

This was a night for the History books. To see such a coming together of our nation and grant such an overwhelming mandate for Barack Obama shows how far our country has slipped to the far right. It is time to Balance the tide.

My hope is for a UNITED country once again. A hopeful America of the early 1960's...The possibilities were there--but there was still a county embroiled in prejudice and racial unequality. JFK was the shining beacon, so was Dr. Martin Luther King. We were on the right path and then it changed.

Now, we embrace Change again. This time the possibilities are immense and endless. Once can once again, dare to dream and HOPE.

Freedom isn't Free

Tomorrow is Election Day in America. No matter who you are supporting, no matter what your views or inclinations---PLEASE honor Democracy and get out and VOTE.

Apathy has no place in the continuance of Freedom. We need to flex our political muscle as citizens of our great country.

Remember: Freedom isn't Free.

I who am the beauty of the green earth

And the white moon among the stars

And the mysteries of the waters,

I call upon your soul to arise and come unto me.

For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe.

The Last Harvest. The Earth nods a sad farewell to the God. We know that He will once again be reborn of the Goddess and the cycle will continue. This is the time of reflection, the time to honor the Ancients who have gone on before us and the time of 'Seeing" (divination) . As we contemplate the Wheel of the Year, we come to recognize our own part in the eternal cycle of Life.
