A rose grows in November.

In the midst of all that has transpired in America within the past 24 hours emotions are high and dare I say low with respect to the Presidential Election of Donald Trump.

I have listened to both sides and realized that in the pain of the masses there can be no victory. For those that are celebrating I say to you, the work has just begun and it is a work that requires compassion, wisdom, love and the ability to lead with your highest self. We can not allow greed, vindictiveness, pride or ego to find a place to thrive.

To those who are disillusioned and even heartbroken I say, Fear Not! Your passions are intact and your work also lies before you. We are one nation inclusive of the ugliest parts of self and psyche. Let the work of love, healing, elevation and oneness begin on both sides. We can not allow bitterness, complacency and ignorance to continue to divide and conquer us.

We all have real needs, real concerns, real hurts and now let us find find real solutions.

Collectively only we can fix what is broken, rebuild what has been destroyed and heal our hurts. The only other option is to “suffer collectively” while we try to convince each-other that suffering in not inclusive.

Let us be about the work. For against all odds a Rose grows in November……
