As Storms Raged
As Earthquakes Shook
The United States re-elected Barack Obama as President.
Let’s all treat this man
as we would the trusted one
sitting at the head of our table.
He needs our support
so he can lead
with honor, dignity and integrity.
Let’s help him shine
as one of the evolved leaders of this world.

For all these intense happenings I have no words – they are beyond me – and we have to endure what Mother Earth throws at us.
Mr. Obama, I wish you courage and strength to continue upon your path. Thank you for all you’re doing for the US.
Today I would like to contribute a simple but sweet photo, a bit of sunlight: http://photosofanimals.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/swimming-in-leaves/
I hope it enlightens your day.

Photos of animals always enlighten my day, thanks, Marion. We have so much to learn from them. Sometimes I’m reminded of all the communication that goes between my cat and me even though I can’t hunt and he can’t speak a language!
Amen!
Nice post, Amy. 🙂
Here’s looking to the next few years for many reasons, but especially to watch our world transform. I hope it wasn’t my imagination that I heard a message woven amongst the concepts of his speech, “I know you’ve had enough. Let’s do it! It’s going to take all of us.”
Maybe the universe will ease off on us now… 🙂
It’s been us, Lorna. The push to encourage meditation is our hope to influencing positive energy and outcomes. The Universe responds to what’s in our hearts and souls.
Love these positive thoughts 🙂
May positive be our default, Bella!
Here’s hoping that the next few years brings a resurgence of concern for the people of the country and world over self-interest and personal power.
While President Obama is not perfect or a saint (though I wish my Prime Minister could be just a little less aloof), I sense he will move some mountains and we have to bring the shovels. He is obviously capable of listening – a very fragile commodity in the ranks of too many leadership positions. Good at hearing; hard of listening? Not this man who is worth supporting!
Kids, here is a link to a flashmob event that will make you glad to be a human being. Promise! It is TRULY wonderful, uplifting and inspiring. Enjoy!

Oh Sherry, I cannot watch this without tears. Besides the great music, the camera work captures expressions and responses that bring total joy. Many thanks, Sherry!
Oh my gosh…….made my heart glad and brought me to tears……. Thanks for that, Sherry.

Although I have had no real interest in the election process, I know that the result is crucial to the world. I’m thrilled to hear that President Obama appears to understand that we will all have to work together to create a better future. Lets hope his actions can convince other world leaders of that truth. I agree with you that meditation is key right now ~ I’m focusing on sending out calm and positive energy every morning. A lovely, uplifting post, Amy, filled with genuine hope! 🙂

Amy,
this song gives me the shiver whivers. I Looooooooooove. Xxxxx
This was before my time so I KNOW it was before yours, Kim! And I confess that it never attracted my attention enough to watch the movie. Was it Judy Garland/Wizard of Oz who brought the concept of Polyanna more to the fore? It’s a label now, but all the fearful and negative thoughts, attitudes and actions haven’t worked.
We need to get Lady GaGa into more action! 😉
I LOooooVE the song. Hate the movie! xxx
I sooo wish I could agree with you, Amy!!
Although, I do believe. as the originator of the Divine Plan, the Almighty is in charge, and something good will result … this is where I need to put my faith at the moment in order to endure the next 4 years.
Years ago when I realized – for my country – that no matter the party, no matter the promises, and no matter the person, we’ll feel “God help us” at various times. Recently we let our PM know that we do not accept the trade deal that he made with China. Maybe next time he gets all fired up about something as significant as that, he’ll put it to the people who work in business, who deal with contractual terms as a profession and who can apply practical and rational thinking to the situation BEFORE. How many politicians are business people, yet they’re managing the biggest business in existence – our country?!
We didn’t agree with what he’d presented to China. Yes, maybe he has to eat crow – that may be a lesson in humility. But we’ve disagreed in a developmental and supportive manner instead of destructive and it’s being revamped. It’s easy to be a critic. It’s hard to disagree and tactful offer effective solutions.
Oh what wonderful contributions here, today.
And bless your heart for surrounding our President with positive thoughts and support.
I have to believe that good will come from the decision if we’re all bringing shovels.
I’m not much for politics–but I’m all for integrity and courage.
AND I have a shovel! 🙂
I say we move mountains.
Can you imagine if we could all be working with this attitude, Mel? Can you imagine?! Divinity would land on our souls with tears of joy.
What a wonderfully positive message, Amy!
Kate, did you see the post about the Ming-full of Miracles? I’m not mentioning this to promote my blog – it’s because I think it may entice you to do your incredible research and solve a mystery. 😀
I’ll get on it, Amy 🙂
Hi Amy. This has been a fantastic week in American history. I hope because of President Obama’s resounding win, he will be treated with the respect and dignity his office deserves…also as he rightfully should be treated simply because he’s a fellow decent, law abiding human being.
Yes, Carolyn, all our leaders – no matter the country – need support especially now. We’re headed for much change and the leaders in our world need to conduct themselves in a manner that stimulates support from decent, law abiding human beings like us.
There has been so much bitterness in the campaign this year. May it be a time of healing, now, and may all our elected officials work together for the good of all rather their own personal agenda.
Great thought. Now I have started liking him more and more after hearing all his speeches. I just loved his victory speech. It was one of those best speeches I have ever heard in my life till now.
No President can do it alone. This is such a critical time and let’s hope the man has what it takes (including support) to remain true to the essence of his speech!
If we join together, if we work together, if we embody peace and compassion together, we can change our world. let’s just do it!
I am excited about being alive in this time, Joss!
Me too. I think this is a marvellous time to be here. We will see and be part of a new world.
If we don’t, Joss, you and I can holler our disappointment from one end of Canada to another. We’ve got it covered!
🙂
What a great comment! Let’s all treat this man as we would the trusted one sitting at the head of our table.
I’ll be waiting, Tammy!
