Time to take a stand for dignity restored
It's our sacred honor to ourselves and our hearts
To do what we know is right and our parts
Clearly, even basic needs are not being adequately met – needs as basic as safety, good education for our children (who are the country's future), healthcare, housing – not to mention higher ones such as respect and dignity, being listened to and cared about. With masses of people stripped of dignity and basic meeting of needs, violence inevitably reigns. We must take a stand on the side of what we know in our hearts to be right, good and true in how we treat our fellow humanity.
We are members of "one body." Like the physical body, there is no member which is extraneous – every person has a unique role to play that serves the healthy functioning of the whole. Everyone is needed, every voice counts, and in this election, every vote counts. For anyone on the planet at this time, full presence is required.
I think purpose is one of the reasons Barack Obama is touching so many people at such a deep level. He came here with a purpose and he is fully living it – this is such an inspiring thing to witness because we know at some level we too have purpose. Watching Obama in action not only reflects this to us, but inspires us to bring out the highest that is within us.
