act.
yesterday
i went to the official opening
of the local headquarters
for
my choice of candidates
for the office of
the next
president of the united states of america.
when i pulled into the parking lot
there was not a space to be had
there was a torrential downpour of rain
yet people of all ages
were waiting
and
pouring out of the door
and
once i walked into the room
there was
so much enthusiasm
and
so full of hope
and
postive thinking
it was overwhelming
i’m excited to say that
tomorrow i’ll begin helping them
to try to make it all happen in november.

caucus.
had a little caucus practice
with my class of kinders
to help them
to understand
the process.
they all began by
standing on one side
or
somewhere in the middle.
we also had two happy monkeys,
curious george on one side
and
soft cuddly monkey on the other.
each made big promises,
each told
what they would do for the kinders
if they picked them.
each worked
to get the kinders on their side.
one promised
ice cream every day
one promised
3-hour recesses
one promised
no naps
and
on and on
went the promises.
and the littles
ran
back and forth
back and forth
as they heard
the promises made.
yet
one stood alone
and
never wavered
knowing what she wanted
and what she believed in
right from the beginning.
no naps.
ever.
and
when it was over
and the rest
had run
back and forth
and
back and forth,
she was still standing
where she began.
stronger than ever
smiling
and
wide awake.
the decisions you make are a choice of values
that reflect your life in every way.

thinking isn’t agreeing or disagreeing. that’s voting. – robert frost
primary election here yesterday
just me and a few thinkers of all kinds
not too long a wait in line
though i wish there had been one
stretching all around the building
and way down the street
“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote
except the American people themselves
and the only way they could do this is by not voting.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt
