All This Excitement! Time For A Snooze?

If you’ve been paying any attention at all lately, there’s been a lot of excitement going on: culminating with you getting out and voting yesterday.

Now I’m not going to comment either way on the outcomes here. Anyone who knows me at all knows that politics is just not how I roll. But all of this talk along with the resounding cries for action have gotten me thinking about one thing: no matter how you feel about the results of the vote, the energy we created in discussing and debating our desires is not for naught. That’s the thing about living consciously: when we begin something -- a project, a cycle, even a thought -- we start something in motion. If that’s been done in a conscious way, it’s seldom a bad thing.

There is so much wrong in the world just now. And there are so, so many good things happening and so much that is right. If you are feeling disappointed today, don’t lose heart. The energy you expended is good energy. And nothing that brings motion is wasted.
