Right now the hardest work I feel in my own body is regulating the feelings of rage against those who elected him. I know the rage is natural and also- how do we stop the cycle of war and violence and revenge.

And we need to confront ourselves and one another cause if we don’t it’s just going to get worse. Hiding from our own power and entitlement issues is not going to help anything.

AND I see my town as showing up for this work imperfectly. And working to nourish one another. And I too will show up imperfectly to do what I can.

Today I saw a hot mess of “democracy” in action. And I understand even better why our broader democracy is failing after being in the hands of the “good guys” for as long as it has.

Power shuts people down at 1 min- of two minutes- while letting other people talk for as long as they want.
Power misses the mark of oppression especially when it believes themselves to be the “good guys”

Power puts the burden of responsibility to be heard on those who are most marginalized (wait didn’t you see that a meeting was posted on the town website? Or you don’t get to weigh in if you don’t show up. Or deactivates comments on select board meetings or limits the time for public comment)

Power forgets that dialogue and conflict are healthy and that discussion will bring more creativity. Power thinks it has all of the answers.

Power is so sure it’s right. Power knows it has the “right” story.
Power is certain that they have the right way forward.
Power forgets- they have money to show up in person when others have to work-they also don’t fight to ensure representation.

And what I see is that the individuals participating in the processes won’t self examine re: power. Terrorism of all kinds exists as a response to oppression.

Because good intentions do not matter. Yup everyone is doing the best that they can. AND people are feeling disenfranchised.
The whole system is really falling short even though it’s trying so hard.

And everyone is upset this is happening and they can’t see themselves in the mirror as the ones causing it.
No one sees themselves as worthy of being on the receiving end of that terrorism.

No wonder signs get vandalized. And people join secret groups to sue and send letters. And there is no transparency. Emergency meetings get called for things that aren’t emergencies to restrict and limit input and participation. And “civic process” happens behind closed doors.
