My heart was heavy as I went to sleep last night after watching as the country elected Donald Trump as president. My heart was even more heavy as I woke up this morning and saw how deeply affected and scared people I care for are. Scared for their safety, jobs and status as American citizens. Light is slowly being shed in the form of little shreds of hope. Hilary actually won the popular vote, so I'm not alone. I am willing to stand up and love and protect those whose rights may be oppressed under the leadership of one of the most hateful people to ever be elected president. I am not alone in this fight for right.
A very dear friend, Jennifer Wilhelmi wrote her thoughts out very early this morning, and they are exactly what I needed to read, and what I feel I need to share with my fellow Bringers of Light.
And a great and terrible darkness covered the land.
It was cold and lifeless and infused with pain and suffering.
The land was no longer friendly or safe.
Out of this darkness came the Bringers of Light.
A million strong, ten million strong.
They carried the light of promise
They carried the light of wisdom
They carried the light of peace and gratitude
They carried the light of compassion and love.
They were legion, with hands and hearts joined.
They came together from all corners of the earth,
From every race and creed
From every cut and cloth
They were the tapestry of the New Earth.
Into the Valley of the Shadow they came
Fear and ignorance stepped aside as they came.
They were the Bringers of the Light, the creators of the New Earth
They brought acceptance and togetherness
They brought health and prosperity.
They gave freely of their light, It would never dim.
And the darkness fell away before the light
And the darkness fell away before the love and the beauty.
And the darkness fell away before the peace and prosperity
And the light shown brightly for a thousand years.
