"Mutt like me"

I found Barack's "mutt like me" moment disarming. I thought it was great but not as disarming as one woman found it who had been terrified that "black" for president would mean a rough deal for "whites".

This funny little comment was utterly disarming to her. She literally changed course: a new form was born.

MAY WE ALL BE ENDLESSLY JOYOUSLY WONDROUSLY DISARMED.

This is the American Revolution that dear Barbara Marx Hubbard said (back in the early 90s) was still to come; an evolution of consciousness, a non-violent revolution, a shifting of realms, from fear to love, sweet, easy, astonishingly graceful.

Sometimes we can catch a belief that no longer serves us.
And make a decision to choose differently.

Sometimes we can be essentially {in our essence} disarmed
And the old form literally dissolves.

My old Scottish/Irish grandmother used to say
"Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne"

You don't have to look far in either of those lineages to know how and why that belief was formed.. but we are always at the frontier of our Becoming and can choose anew. When we do, our potential expands.

"Love informs Life, creating...... New Forms!"

Van Jones at SF Green Fest this past weekend said (I'm paraphrasing); hold him; hold him kindly, hold President Obama, hold space, hold with love essentially, so that he can do what he stepped up to do.

And David Orr at this year's Bioneers, from his 10-point turn-us-around strategy, said (and I'm paraphrasing!), how about we make the shift, and restore politicians as trustees...
