Everyday we have a choice,
Will we let ourselves get swallowed up in darkness,
Or continue to reach for the light?
It’s not easy this push to the left and pull to the right,
Even our families are in a tizzy and fight.
It seems so clear to me, and clear to them,
That they will do anything to divide our plight.
But the question is how can we continue to be true and honest to our ideals and have a dialogue so we don’t divide and separate creating more discord and dissonance? It’s one thing when we know someone from a distance or as a colleague or client, but it’s quite another, when it’s someone we love and care about; a child, sibling, parent or good friend.
Today is my Dad’s 86th birthday and we are on polar opposite sides in this election which isn’t easy. It gives me the opportunity to love unconditionally, while I disagree wholeheartedly, and a chance to get my bloated nothingness out of the way as Ralph Waldo Emerson said in so many words. What I do know is that the election will soon be behind us, and we will be faced with what is in front of us, and moving on from there is crucial, so we can create openings that unite, instead of divide. Why is this so difficult to do?

We are living in unprecedented times right now, which create unrest inside, while we try to find our center. The bombardment claws at us internally and we feel torn and ripped apart by opposing values. We feel violated, unheard, with forces opposing each other at every level, and the decency of being human, seems to be throw to the wind. This creates tension within, and a desire to search for meaning in our life.
Who are we is the age old question, and even if we knew at one point, we are forced to look again, and grapple and search for answers. We toss and turn and move into reaction by speaking out, or shut down, because it’s just too much to deal with. Something wants to be born and birthing is never easy. We can fall prey to false gods or to overwork, depression, anxiety, reaction, impatience, inertia or spin like a top, bouncing off walls. Our voice so much wants to be heard, so we yell which falls on deaf ears or we go radio silent, because we feel so powerless, wondering if our voice matters at all. These repressed feelings go underground and we think there is something wrong with us, when in fact, there is nothing wrong with us, but there is something terribly wrong in our world.
It’s hard to have discussions when we are polar opposites. So how do we survive this period in our lives that we are all in together and not go into reaction or no action at all? It’s hard to side step the issues because they are glaring at us in the face, demanding resolution, which bring justice not for one, but for all.

We all have different ways to deal with it but one way for me, is to come to my W.P. family, where I can write and get out on paper what, is so bottled up inside. I trust one of you will hear and witness me for having these feelings without being judged, and I feel validated and cared for. If one person hears us, it shifts our internal landscape and gives us hope. It’s a gift we share in our community here, where we contribute to the well being of each other and feel understood. We each have our own motives and agenda but we all have the commonality of writing from our hearts, to share something from our soul.
We each have different religious beliefs, color of our skin, sexual preferences etc, but we have writing in common. The power of our words, move people and each one of us contributes to the well being of each other. I had this epiphany when I read something that felt like it was written directly to me, which moved me so deeply. I had a cathartic experience where the words penetrated my soul so deeply and I felt so heard and seen that tears cleansed old wounds in my psyche and tissues. It made me think when we come to the page and share our stories, poems, thoughts, drawings, photography, ideas and hearts, that we never know who we impact and our words have the ability to reach deep in someone’s being, across continents and transcend time and space.
Tears run down my face in streams to the river,
Grace touches my soul,
I am heard and seen.
My friends the trees, the flowers and your words hold me,
As I swing from the branches.
The rings tell their age, but I am young and free.
How long do we hold grief in our tissue and our soul?
I am heard and I am seen, for all of my flaws.
I stand before you naked held in space, feeling whole,
Hunger sufficed, as peace and joy fill the space,
Taking the place where grief lives,
Tucked neatly behind my smile.
But I am heard and seen now.
Thank you for this gift.
There is no distance in hearts that love. We are love. That’s why we’re here on this planet and if we can hold our tongues accountable and speak with kindness, we can hold each other together here on the page and change our future. If we can do it here, we can map that to each soul so that we may find peace and love. We might not change the world all at once, but one voice at a time, touching one soul at a time, rooting us back to why we are here on this planet at this particular time, gives me solace and comfort. I thank each of you for showing up with all of your trials and tribulations and sharing your stories, because you matter.
You matter to me. You are love, you deserve love and we all need each other. We are the stars in the sky and universe, each casting different gifts, reflecting back at each other to pave a path for love, wholeness, peace and happiness, casting light in shadows where we can all live as one. That is who we are.

Thank you for reading this and the contribution you make in my life.
A special thanks to Jason Gotlib for his spectacular photography that is so heartfuld and a beautiful addition of love and support.
And Happy 86th birthday Dad, I’m fortunate to have you in my life to share our truth, even if we disagree. It’s an honor to have a chance to be truly authentic in my views, but I’m just grateful my vote cancels out yours!

In Love and always light,
Cindy
Please like (if you do, of course), comment and or share, if you are inclined,
Or continue to reach for the light ✨✨ beautifully written ❤️
Thank you!!! 😇❤️
We are definitely in what I would refer to as a disturbing time where friends, family, strangers confront each other with there very strong feelings about what is happening in America. That’s because we love America but so many have such opposite agendas that surpass our love for one another. We must take a new past than the one that has led us into this dark time. Lovely eloquent post Cindy. ❤️🌹
Thanks for sharing your observations Holly! It is so true and challenging to say the least. I love what you said, that we ALL LOVE AMERICA and I agree with that alright. Yes, I so agree. Is it too late to put our name on the ballot? lol Thanks so much for stopping in and sharing your thoughts. Big hugs and love, ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️ Cindy
Let’s write each other in…I already voted. lol!
❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️
LOL! done !!!!! love it!~
lol!!
Hello Cindy, WordPress here today has been privileged to hear what your heart has to say. It is really courageous of you to share us with all whatever you are going through. May you have the strength to bear this all. We all are here to listen to whatever you have to say without saying anything. WordPress has been a sacred grove for many of us and i am glad that it is for you as well. A very happy birthday to your dad. He is so lucky to have a loving and caring family. 😇😇
Good Morning/Evening Harsh. Thank you so much for reading and your kind share of my post. I’m glad you appreciate my authenticity and open communication. We are all lucky to have each other I agree and that’s what makes it so special! I’ll let him know you send him wishes, even though he would never understand.. lol. We are so lucky and blessed. Thank you for always seeing and hearing me,.. well most of the time. 🤣🤣🤣 ❤️😇Cindy
The pleasure is all mine Cindy. 😇😇
You have expressed your heart beautifully. Life is unexpected and we need to hold on to it! Amazing work Cindy!❤
Thank you so much Nawaz! I always appreciate your kind and heartfelt comments. Have a wonderful day, friend! ❤️
Thank you! You too friend!❤❤
❤️🤗❤️🤗🌹
Amazing photos and post. I think for me, I listen more than anything. It really feels like I can offer something by making sure people feel seen and someone cares. As for me, I know my heart, I know how I will vote, but I also know that my little opinion will shatter upon times endless machine. I have been right and wrong endless times, they probably all seemed dramatic and important. But love and caring and being truthful with myself have always mattered more. Maybe I’m starting to see that. Be well my friend.
Thank you so much Bryan for your kind and wise words. Yes, I would say that’s true about you, judging by you always having something to reflect back at me and share. Thank you for that. I guess knowing what matters to us is what counts in the end because you are right, we certainly can’t control anything. You are a very introcpective and caring soul. Thanks so much for visiting and you kind comment, And I agree, Jason’s pictures were awesome for this post. You stay well to Bryan and have a great week!❤️🤗 Cindy
May God bring the best …
And to you! ❤️
To all , all the best …

I completely understand this bit and I know it does not resolve anything but it feels nice to vomit it all someplace safe and where there won’t be repercussions.
Have a lovely week
Stay blessed happy and full of peace
Hugs
😍🎀💝😘
Thnaks so much Ruelha! Glad you apprecited that and that you get it as well. You know that one poem I wrote actually helped heal a lot after I read someone else’s poem. It was pretty cool. I hope it diidn’t feel like vomit on a page 🤢🤮lol.. But with that said, you did have that one guy that was soooooo rude and I responded to you on that. You handeled it so well and I give you so much credit for your voice and speaking out. 😲👏👏! You do the the same and big hugs back at you!🤗❤️
Oh my sorry Cindy….wrong choice of words…I didn’t mean to say vomit in a bad way…..vomit….as in emptying yourself and getting everything inside you out….yiu know just getting all your insides out….everything that is inside you and true and real feelings out into words on WP….
oh yesi remember penser. He was quite something lol.😁😆🤣😂
Xoxo
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤮🤮🤮 YES indeed I get it not a worry.. I did see your comment too somewhere about getting a ball or Wilson but I think it’s gone.. Spam no doubt.. 😡. I think it’s a great idea.. I have a few of those.. lol. Oh good, glad you got it.. He was over the rails but you put him in his place! Power to the girls.. You Rock!❤️ Cindy
Oh…spam folder 🙈🙈🙈…
I recently heard about it….I’ll try to access mine maybe 🙃🤭

Cindy, I so needed to hear this right now! I got myself into a conflictive situation because of the need to write, actually! I don’t ask for much but a few moments of stillness in each day to read, reflect and write. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us 🙏🥰🙏
Oh thanks for sharing with me,Ingrid and I’m glad it was helpful. We all need these moments for sure! Take good care of you as you move through you day and you’re so welcome. ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️
Your words are so beautifully reflected always😊 Wonderful post ❤️ Since the longest time I am writing to vocalize my emotions on paper without anyone knowing it, it was very difficult for me actually to start blogging as I never considered them worthy enough to share with someone but yeah my husband insisted and I started sharing and to tell you, as you said, you feel heard even if one person comments, you feel so blessed. 🙂
Choices and thoughts may at times be different but what matters is being together. 🌺💖 A very happy birthday to your Dad Cindy, may he be healthy and happy always.
Love and hugs, 🥰❤️🤗
Thank you so much Samreen for your kind words and appreciation. What a great husband to encourage you to speak up and share your truth!!! Good for you! Yes, it’s so important to hoonor each other,

Oh Cindy, these words you’ve built together are the foundation I too care so much about. The picture of the elephant captures your post perfectly. We are all the same. I don’t know where, when or why it started snd I don’t care but putting labels upon fjs, classifying others by color and security, age and religion is animalistic to me. We are all humans. Period. Love is the main ingredient missing all over the world. I see differences as magical superpowers that make others unique and special. Together we are stronger. It starts with one. One love. One world. One heart beating a resounding rhythm. I choose not to get too deep into issues with folks that have opposing views. I say that because the line gor me is let’s agree to disagree and move on. I have plenty of friends and family whom think different opinions yet I listen to them when they talk. I hear their words and don’t attempt to change, prove wrong/right and especially judge them for what they think. That’s not my job. Respect. I respect others because that’s what I deserve in return. That’s the way energy works and once that’s understood, all can flow much easier. Belief systems are personal choices and should not be controlled. Our systems on the planet are broken. I do know this, no matter who wins this election, it’s not going to make any difference to me how I choose to show up in the world. I’m still me. I choose to love others as I do myself. Imagine if more people tried this for one day? Wow, what a difference it would make. The issue is that our culture is flipped inside out and we compare, compete and have this separateness mentality. So many people hate who they are because they’ve neglected their inside storyline. We glow with love from the inside out. That’s where it all needs to return to for balance to be restored. Much love always dear Cindy ❤ 🤍💙
Dear Maria,
I always know I can count on you to hold the light of truth while we remain examples of truth and love. Yes, it’s broken and like you said, not letting it define us and respecting each other no matter what is vital while standing in our truth and sharing it. For me, it’s all easier said than done. I echo all of your sentiments here and I’m with you all the way and I so much appreciate you reading, your contribution on reflecting light and the power of love. Everyday we get to choose bhow we will show up regardless and you are a gift of light to our world. Imagine… singing that some in my head. Have a beautiful day dear friend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Cindy
It’s a sincere pleasure and honor to be recognized for my soul’s light, which is the name of the new book I’m compliling right now. At the end of all of my healing sessions with clients I say, Namaste. It’s the 20 yogi ❤ in me. It’s the past lives lived as both a Buddhist monk and a shaman. We are each here to shine and after living in shadows for many years, that’s what I understand completely and wholeheartedly. I always hum a tune of happiness, light and love when we interact so that makes sense my dear🥰 That picture of the elephants really hit me in my heart space and I just love it so much. We can always learn so much from our animal friends ❤❤❤❤Maria Teresa💃🧘♀️📿🌠🎆🙏
20 year yogi btw and I too have my moments so don’t be too harsh on yourself. I just unplugg and detach with love in those moments.
Yes, indeed! That’s allwe can do!!!! ❤️
Oh I do love that your new book embodies your soul’s light!!!! WE are here to shine you are so right and I too love the elephants as well. sooo beautiful and reflect our souls purpose. xo ❤️❤️❤️❤️Cindy
You have no idea how much this post relates to me too! Even my parents who turn 80 and 85 next week. You are an amazing writer and I really enjoyed your post, especially cancelling out your dads vote!🤣😂🤣
Oh thanks so much for sharing that with me Diane, we’re in the same boat together here for better or worse.. lol. Awww, thanks so much for the kind comment. I so appreciate it! Ok, here’s the funny thing… yesterday he made a huge mistake after hearing him being so rude to the gal on 60 min. 🤣 Well, at least we’re from California. 👏👏👏😇 Have a lovely day ❤️ xo
You too Cindy! 💕
🙏🙏❤️
Beautiful!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks much! ❤️
Continuing to reach for the light and choosing to believe in it when everything is falling apart is true strength and beauty, I believe. I absolutely love this post, Cindy. Also, happy birthday to your dad. I wish him all the happiness and good health. ❤️
Oh Rishika, you are so right about that and I love your words here to brighten my day. Thank you and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. That is very heartfelt! Thank you so much, he will be overjoyed to hear this. Have a blessed day dear friend. ❤️❤️❤️ Cindy
Great post Cindy!
Happy birthday to your dad. 🎂
In 100 years not a bit of this will matter. 😂 putting it in a different perspective changes things.
Thanks Beck!!!! Awww very nice. So true and perspective is need so thanks for that. Yesterday he said, “I’ve made a horrible mistake, I wish I could change my vote”. 🤣
Wonderful post, Cindy, and Happy Birthday to your dad! We have to be better than what is going on today by putting politics, religion, race, and gender opinions aside. ”

Thanks so much Eugenia for your kind read and lovely thoughts. So kind of you to send wishes to my Dad… thank you! Yes, you are so right and your words and Maya Angelou are wonderful words to live by and remind us all of! Thanks and do have a beautiful day!❤️❤️❤️ Cindy
My pleasure, Cindy! 😊
❤️🙏
Lovely post! It’s beautiful how you convey your feelings so effortlessly through words. And WordPress does offer a wonderful community! Loved reading through this!❤️
Oh you are so kind to read my words and share your very kind thoughts with me. Thank you so much for blessing my page…We are so lucky! Have a lovely day!❤️❤️❤️ Cindy
My pleasure! ❤️
❤️🙏

I seem to be an anomaly here, I couldn’t care less what people believe. Live, and let live…
Thanks for the read and comment Eliza! I’d be curious to hear more if you are incliend Eliza.
Yes, live and let live… I like that! ❤️ Cindy
Just that I don’t care what others believe. It interests me. And so they believe differently. So what? It’s funny, for I’ve also found that the all inclusive are discriminatory against the not all inclusive. For example how pro LGBTQ campuses have banned religious groups.
There is no right or wrong. Every persons life experiences and education will inform their choices. So I don’t think the NHS is good. You do. Opinions are not the basis for a relationship. And if they are then I feel bad for the person…
Thanks for sharing all of this Eliza. Yes, it’s true that we all beleive differntly and need to be honored for that and you’re right, There are lots of conflicting ideas within a community which make no sense at all. No right or wrong, but tolerance and love are essential when our world is suffering so much. I wouldn’t say that I do think the NHS is good necessarily and lots needs to be refined, choice is good there. I will say that I am looking forward to getting medicare not a minute too soon! 👏👏👏. You are right about opinions not being the basis for relationships for sure. The more we separate, the more we divide. I’m with you. Have a great day! ❤️
Cindy, beautifully written post you are so creative and talented. Indeed the spoken word is so powerful . It can cause very deep wounds or can be extremely healing.Intuitively it has been my experience that unspoken words can be transmitted as well.we must all be mindful of our intentions.i think the pandemic is exactly what was needed for all of us to wake up To the fact that we are all connected and love is the only answer to the unity of the world 🌎
Thank you for your very profound and heartfelt ❤️Sharing 🥰
Thank you so much Marlene for your special words that mean so much to me. I’m really glad you enjoyed it and the sentiments that I wanted to convey. You are so right that our intentions and words delivered telepathically heal and reach the essence of the soul for healing. I do think that we have seen we are one planet here and connected and hopefully we can come together and heal all aspects of our world. You are so welcome and thanks for your contribution to my post. So muchy love to you! Be well and have a lovely day!❤️ Cindy
Dear Cindy, each word has been from your heartfelt, any one can feel that reading thru your post and you have melted our hearts with all the beautiful comparison of Stars n Universe. Yes! A word has a strong power to inspire and impress or chane anyone’s mind or life. You are so loving, take care 🥰
I so much appreciate your heartfelt words Suma and so glad you enjoyed this piece. Well, it’s mutual melting of hearts because as I read your words, mine does as well and I feel grateful for you blessing my page here. Thank you so much. Thank you so much and big hugs and lots of love to you.❤️🤗🤗🤗❤️
First of all wishing a great birthday and regards🙏 for your dear dad 🎂

You are most welcome cindy…!!
Much hugs and love back to you too cindy 🤗❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is quite beautiful.
Oh, thanks so much for letting me know.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Cindy, this post is spectacularly good…beautiful writing and photos, heartfelt message. <3 The two poems are lovely! It touched me especially because I am experiencing a painful distance in my relationship with my brother. It has partly to do with personal tragedies in his life, but there is a political/philosophical element very similar to your relationship with your father. Over time, he has distanced himself from several other family members as well. It makes me so sad! I know many families have similar problems. Thank you for sharing your experiences. <3 All the best!
Oh thanks so much Cheryl for taking the time to read and respond. I’m so glad you appreciated it and you enjoyed my poems. Oh I’n so sorry. It truly is sad this divide and I’m really sorry to hear about the distance with your brother. I do understand well as I have a brother that suffers with mental health issues as does his wife, and 2 sons that make it challanging to say the least. Oh it’s tough and sad for both of you for sure. Especially someone like you, who has such a kind heart. You know, at lunch yesterday my Dad said, “you know I saw Trump on 60 min with Leslie and it was really upsetting to see how rude he was, and I wish I could change my vote”. Wonders never cease. 🤣 Yes, a lot of us do share these problems with family members for sure and I’m grateful we have each other to share our challenges with.
Funny, I had just tried to got in to your website to injuire about getting your email but it didn’t go through. I’d love to connect separately fron here if you are interested? I have a couple of questions for you.
Thanks so much and take good care. You are most welcome and thanks for your kind share. ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️ Cindy
Thank you for sharing. W.P family is a true blessing. Allows for expression and growth with amazing people and support.
Contrast in life often helps to bring out clarity in situations. It’s okay to be in complete opposites. Happy belated birthday to your dad. Wishing you both peace and joy, and May the right leader be elected in perfect ways and right Divine time.
It sure is Kinge! We are very lucky to have the community we have. I’m grateful to have your input and support.
It is so true that we need to hear oposite opinions and we can still love and care for each other. One thing is true, that we only have control over our own thoughts and we shall continue our voice of love and light. It’s nice to be walking on the path with you Kevin.
❤️🙏 Cindy
I’m grateful to be walking the path with you to and be a part of this community. Well said. And in the process, we live and learn. Collect experiences that define us. Peace and joy 🌻❤
That si so heartfelt and I truly appreciate your kind heart and words. We sure do live and learn Kevin, you are so right! ❤️🙏
Beautifully written Cindy. 😍 Love your post. ❤️ Happy birthday to your dad! 🎈🎉
Great days ahead. 🤗
