06 Nov 2008 Post Election Blues – Prop 8 – Is This Humanity?

Yesterday morning as I read that Proposition 8 had passed, it already got me questioning the vastness of the perceived shift in consciousness that I hoped was real… All of a sudden I realize that I have taken my own tolerance for granted… racism and prejudice are still pervasive and it blows my mind. With every step forward there are still reminders that we have a long way to go… and this doesn’t negate the monumental hurdle we have just surmounted and how healing Obama’s presidency can be for our country. It’s just a sobering reminder that we need to drop the concept of ‘us’ and ‘them’ and keep on evolving as humans.
