I have been annoyed. One of the things that happened yesterday was that 2 women who were supposed to be on the call couldn't make it so I started making up stories.
One was on the road the other's phone died.
About the one who was on the road, I had a fundamental mistrust about her I realized.
She has a tendency to be extreme leftist - almost identified as pro-North Korea.
I realized my mistrust stemmed from my education from early ages about anti-communism that dates even before she was born.
When I realized this my dark solid pit of the stomach energy evaporated. Then I saw what was possible was to let go of my resentment and forgive like Nelson Mandela who said if you don't leave the resentment behind the prison, you'll never be a free man.
So Mandela wasn't just being a great man - and he is a great man - but really showing a way to a possibility for lightness that isn't normal, reasonable but clearing more powerful and even useful.
Peace and reconciliation was a possibility out of this realization.
What I am grateful for is that people like Sam and Magi who is making peace happen in the world. So I am now powerful thrilled, excited and bold.
There was one other great thing that happened but I forgot. Meanwhile the homework is to do a seaming collage with communism and communist.
