Maintaining My Balance

I take my first deep breath to help me establish my balance.

Everyone I know takes their first deep breath to help establish their balance.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, takes their first deep breath to help establish their balance.

——————-

My balance starts with acknowledging what I love, and seeing it all around me.

I have wonderful companionship, productive activities, beautiful surroundings.

Any disturbance to that causes me to clearly reestablish my balance.

I have learned how to consciously cultivate such a life and I know I must consciously maintain it.

We have been taught the principles of democracy since we were little children.

Now that their practice is under attack, we are becoming more conscious of their great value.

We take our first deep breath to expand awareness and appreciation of these principles.

Then, as we love what they stand for, we let that love and awareness and appreciation fill us completely.

The steps needed to protect and guard ourselves against the disruption come to us naturally.

We find ourselves in harmony with groups who have been organizing protests and electing candidates.

We see the results in many successes and look forward to many more.

We see how the approach of democratic principles being lived through grassroots campaigns is eroding old strongholds.

We see the great contrast between old entrenched ignorance and bold new enlightened action.

There is a lot to be done, and it starts with the first deep breath of awareness and a desire to establish the balances which create good for everyone.
