Angel Of America

Angel Of America

We are all held in the field of the Angel of America.

I know who I would like to win based on my values of love, joy, and the vision of a world with less division, less hatred, less fear, and less conflict than we have now. And I know that whoever wins, I will still have those values and I will still be guided by that vision. The election results will determine how gracefully and fully the social, economic, and political environment of the United States will mirror and support my vision, but it will not determine my choice or my efforts in seeking to manifest it.

Whether progressive or conservative, Democrat or MAGA Republican, or something in between or very different, we are all held in the field of the Angel of America. We are all loved by this great angel, a being that would like nothing better than for us to say no to whatever and whoever seeks to divide us and foster conflict between “us” and “them,” and for us to get on with the task of listening and communicating together and working through our differences.

In effect, the outcome of the election does not affect our responsibility or our capacity to bring light into the world. The challenges of our time still remain.

We are asked by our own souls to hold all our fellow citizens, whether winners or losers, in blessing and in light so that whatever the outcome, we are still taking steps, however large or small, towards the unity and wholeness for which our country was founded.
