Election Day!

It is election day... I must admit I've been anxious since the weekend. Almost loosing sleep. Thinking about today's outcome and waiting for this day as if I were waiting for some historical rock concert. Madonna's farewell tour or something... the Rolling Stones.

I went to vote with my two son's, Luc and Maxie (my teacup Yorkie). It is the first time I vote. I've never been much interested in politics until now. My support for Hilary, her tenacity, strength, smarts, was inspiring. Not to mention the possibility of a female President for the 1st time, got me going. Got me hooked. 

In the process I realized how important this year's election was. But most of all how important election is in general and always, and how I've passed on a few opportunities in the past. 

But going back to this year's election... I realized the next time we elect a President will be 2012. That alone told me that whoever we elect this year will be key in taking us through this last chapter and into a New World, or as Ekard Tolle says, A New Earth. 

Yes, I am a believer that something BIG will happen in 2012... don't know yet what exactly, if it will be cataclysmic, the end of the world, or the end of the our Galaxy. But I feel it will certainly be the end of something and the beginning of another; a new consciousness,  a new way of living on a physical, socially, mentally, and spiritual level. 

Then Hilary lost and well... I still think she's the one that should have been in the ticket. But that is past and now, it was time to open myself up to something else. So I backed Obama.

Today I'm anxious and praying that he wins!

My first election experience was in a way, uneventful, mostly because I felt everyone around me had voted in the past, so this was nothing new for them. For me it was exciting. I was getting my voice across and my vote would be punched by a machine from the 1930's and my choice irrevocable.  

Even my dog was excited. I had to leave him outside with my husband, even though he is a pocket dog. He was whining. A lady comes up to me and says "I think it's great that you bring your son to vote with you so you can start inculcating what being a good citizen is". I thought that was sweet. I was proud.

Now, I await at home drinking a Mimosa, my second one actually, expecting to celebrate an Obama victory.  A historical day. Our first black President. A woman will follow, I tell myself, just as long as it's not Palin.

I HOPE YOU HAVE VOTED!!!  And not voted out of fear or based on what the Bible might or might not say. I hope you have voted from the heart, and from a real profound wisdom.... It is when we tap into that wisdom (not on dogmatic teachings), when we become quite and listen, when we trust our instincts, that the right answers become crystal clear. When we put the ego aside and the years of mental conditioning, when we forget for a moment what "we've been told" to do, to think and say... when that happens, then we usually know what to do.
