Mental Adjusters
Would having a mental adjuster to make recommendations about your consciousness and mental home, just as insurance adjusters evaluate your house, car or health, be useful?
What’s the value of a thought? What are your beliefs costing you? What would it be worth to replace them? Are you living in a relationship flood zone? Does your mental/emotional foundation support love, compassion and creativity? How much of your mind is furnished with hand me down beliefs, feelings and attitudes? Bottom line: would you buy the house you’re living in now?

Resistance
Can I release the idea that there’s something against me?
How would I live, feel and behave if I knew, deep within, that everything – absolutely everything – Trump, cancer, and pain – were grist for my mill?
Even at two AM in the morning, flooded with fear, worry and dark thoughts, the sun is shining over Russia. Yes, the sun shines over Russia too.
What if as MLK said, the arc of history is long but bends toward justice?
Can’t I allow the courage that’s my birthright, and yours as well, to fill me and guide me and free me to speak and act from my highest and best right now in this instant? Not from fear, blame and anger, but from an intuitive sense, beyond ego, of what I need to do right now for myself and for a world that works for everyone, everything and the planet.

Poem by me
Not Me
Looking at very old
photos of ‘me’.
Ghosts of the past.
Not ‘me’ now.
Some resemblance
but not ‘me’ now.
Experience of nostalgia
warm regret that
the hope and potential
of that ‘me’
have come to this.
Some of those feelings linger.
But I am not the person
in the photo
Would that ‘me’
be pleased with this ‘me’?
If he’d known
how things would turn out
would he have chosen differently?
How often?
Where, when, how?
But he didn’t know
couldn’t know.
I think he’d be pleased.
Still, looking at that ‘me’
this ‘me’ is kind of sad.

What if I really don’t want to be happy and safe and released from suffering? I’ve noticed there’s almost always something – an itch, a pain, a politician – that keeps me from feeling peaceful and grateful. What if unhappiness and discord are the ego’s way of keeping me separate from spirit? How strong is the fear of losing myself and joining with mySelf? Would I cease to exist as Steve Liebowitz and be part of what I already am – the one energy that’s the source of all that is? What if the pain, suffering and fear keep me identifying with with the ego? What if each instance of pain, suffering and fear is really an opportunity to choose again and claim the peace, joy, grace that are my birthright?

Conditions
Love without conditions is letting those we care about be perfectly themselves, not manipulating and twisting them around to fit our conditions. Otherwise we love the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
I will love, accept and appreciate you as long as you don’t violate my conditions. Conditions are a manifestation of fear. Fear and love can not occupy the same space at the same time. Relationships held together by conditions have little space to grow. As I work through my own fears, unconditional love, acceptance and appreciation become possible.

POV – Point of View
Things are unfolding just as they should or things are falling apart. My choice, yours too.
Most of the time, I’m in the ‘things are falling apart’ group. There’s plenty of evidence for that. However, I’m finding my peace and progress don’t come from denying that way of looking, but from balancing it with the abundant evidence of peace and progress.
Yes, I’m old and decrepit, but I’m still here, ride my bike everyday, read, write and just loved Mama Mia Two. When I turn the tap, water comes out. Flick a switch, light. And the indoor plumbing, wow! So much to be grateful for, so much taken for granted. Maybe things are even unfolding as they should politically….

Soaring
No bird can fly without opening its wings. Same for us. We soar only by revealing what we hide. So be who you are and soar. Besides, everyone else is already taken.

Business As Usual?
Don’t worry or be concerned. This has all happened before. It’s just business as usual. Go about your life and don’t pay attention. It’s not about you. You didn’t do anything illegal. Perhaps if you’re black, brown, sexually ‘different’ or female you’ve got a small problem. But otherwise, just carry on. Be grateful and patriotic you live in the greatest nation on earth, being made even greater. What’s happening to the leadership of the USA is just a more extreme twist on business as usual.
The facts suggest otherwise. The work of Republicans in and out of government to subvert and undo the values undergirding our Constitution – mutual trust and respect, consensus, compassion, inclusion, fairness and the rule of law – suggest otherwise.
Why have no alarms been sounded? Why, for the most part, do the mainstream media act as if what’s happening is business as usual? As the Trumpian hate, paranoia and nastiness trickle down to every facet of American life – as frightened citizens call police because a black woman was asleep in a dorm hall or a black Congresswoman was canvassing her district – why are our media not doing their job, not warning us, not describing what’s happening and pretending all’s well and it’s business as usual? Why do they constantly ‘cover’ Trump and his minions, interviewing and not challenging them, acting as if what they’re saying is real and true and not just a charade? And how about those White House conferences?
By not warning us, isn’t the media enabling and supporting the erosion? Sure media has to ‘cover’ them. But do they have to do it so extensively and gullibly, acting as if it’s all just business as usual? Why do they constantly talk about and interview Trump’s base (whatever that is)? What about the 49% of voters who didn’t vote in 2016; and the Independents? Why not talk more about what’s at stake when people do or do not vote? Why trivialize voting and make it seem as if it’s just a contest between two teams, like a game? Repetition has power. What is covered and repeated constantly has an effect. Joseph Goebles called it ‘the Big Lie.’

Distraction
While attention is fixed on Trump, his minions are rushing about destroying and wrecking the fundamental protections going back generations. It was Nixon who established the EPA. For example from the Environmental Conservation Voters:
Republican leaders in Congress have just moved to backdoor a series of anti-environment provisions into law.
Their plan includes a policy to weaken public land protections without public review or input. There’s a massive expansion of mining operations. Gutting the Endangered Species Act. Undermining protections for whales and other marine mammals.
They’ve added all these provisions to the National Defense Authorization Act bill. This is a must-pass military bill that isn’t supposed to include riders on the environment.
What to do?
Sending messages to Republicans only seems to cause them to double down.
A vote in November seems the only way.

Wise Wednesday – A Poem by Me
This,
not that
or the other.
Now,
not later
or some other time.
No thing else.
No regrets.
Why is this –
loving what is –
so difficult?
