Changing my Focus

Ok, this is a post from one of my blogs “CO Grumpy Granny” posted just before Memorial Day. It also pretty much addresses where I currently stand on the Bush impeachment issue, so I’m accompishing 2 topics with 1 post. I know the views stated below will be either unpopular or incomprehensible to many, so comments are welcome.

A Quiet Epiphany

Tonight, the eve of Memorial Day, I lay on my yoga mat, trying to twist my tired body into shapes that it just did not want to form. As usual, when I am doing this intricate physical stuff, my mind wanders off on its own tangents. And, tonight, I realized, with a rather large shock to my system (to say the least), that I love George W. Bush. Yes, I love him! Somewhere in between Bridge Pose and Downward Dog, I realized that George W. Bush, Goddess bless him, is absolutely the PERFECT president for our country as it is right at this moment. And perhaps Goddess DID want him to be president. After all, aren’t people waking up all over the place? Aren’t people realizing that there is more to life than the biggest SUV on the block or a house big enough to house 7 or 8 Nicaraguan families? Aren’t we realizing that might does not make right, and it’s more important to feed children than to kill their parents? Aren’t we realizing that “politics” is the greater evil to all of us, regardless of what party it’s clothed in??

What you resist, persists. We are “resisting terror” with all that we have in us, politically, militarily, philosophically, and lo and behold, it’s persisting with great ease. Seems like no matter what we do, no matter how much money, or how many young lives we throw at it, it just gets bigger and bigger and more terrifying. So, I am not going to resist it any more. I fully and freely admit that terror exists. I fully and freely admit that there are people out there who hate me and would love to wipe me off the face of this earth just because I happened to be born in this country of Western Euoropean parents and ancestors. Well, okay, then. Let them hate me. It’s not going to stop me from living my life to the absolute fullest that I can. In fact, because of them, I may live an even MORE full life, just to spite them! So there!

I will love the terrorists, too. I will sit in meditation and pour out my heart’s love to George W. Bush and to the terrorists, equal partners in causing great misery to this world, and for teaching all of us to wake up and realize that we don’t have to do this to each other any more. Wake up, America! Wake up, world! Love your President!! Love the terrorists!! They are making this world better because the sooner we quit thinking about them and focus on what we REALLY want and how we REALLY want to live our lives, the sooner they will go away.

Good job, guys! I love you!!!

Not thinking about terrorists will NOT make them go away. We weren’t thinking about them when they flew into the World Trade buildings, and yet, they did it anyway. Bush’s war on terrorism may not be the answer to the problem, but pretending it doesn’t exist isn’t a cure either.

So this is what lemonade looks like in print. I guess the lemon Bush can be viewed as and educational period for the country. Thanx for the new way of looking at things.

Ladymoor, thank you for your comment. Just to clarify, I am not pretending that terrorism does not exist. I stated that I freely and fully admitted that it DOES indeed exist. And, there are many forms of terror in this world. As a former abused wife, I know that first hand. I am just stating that I no longer choose to give MY energy to terrorists. My energy is going to go into living my life the best way I know how, to tending my own garden, if you will, being kind to the people I encounter in my life, helping where I can, teaching my grandsons to be good men, and NOT living my life in fear. I hope that made things a bit clear. Also, I posted a response to this earlier (which I think was better), but it hasn’t showed up yet, so I am trying again. Thank you again for your post.

I agree up to a certain point. I decided long ago to live my life no matter what. It takes a lot longer to fly, security is a pain in the neck, but that hasn’t stopped me from traveling. I feel that fear is a feeling that takes a lot more energy than anything else, and that is not worth it. I might die in a terrorist atteck, or I might die in my bathtub, I don’t know! But whatever it is, I want to live my life to the fullest, not being afraid because some crazy people hate me, not only for being an American, but also because I am a lesbian!
I DO NOT LOVE GEORGE W. BUSH… I could do without him, the sooner the better! But I love my life and he is not really part of it. Life is too short! I don’t want to waste it!
