Going Deeper...
I’m moved to share this to highlight the issues of “likability”, integrity, refusal to compromise values or be part of poisonous uber-wealthy special interests — and to go much deeper. There are many levels which are mirrored in this picture. And my awareness of these many layers also moves me to again share this reflection of a response that I wrote to another article —
One thing, among so many, that has long drawn me to Bernie Sanders is the warmth and strength of his heart. This experience of heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul connection is what I treasure in my most beloved teachers and visionaries and family and friends. What Bernie Sanders stands for and radiates — integrity, open-heartedness, wisdom, honesty, compassion, courage, consciousness, love, and a fierce caring for life — these are the exact qualities which I am most devoted to expanding within myself throughout my lifetime.

May we all consciously choose to be part of this paradigm shift, this evolutionary leap, this Revolutionary Love that I believe is at the heart of who we humans most wholly are. And what our Earth most deeply needs. This is my deep prayer. 🙏 Molly
