watching bernie's presser today and the bay rally - he is so focused. i have only seen this ability to focus by warriors - male and female - who have traveled the red road of sweat lodge and sun dance ceremonies - and others who have been tested by fire. their focus is so true it can be trusted.

thanks for your caring, powerful, and positive post.

i am an activist for protecting our waters, rivers, and forests, and all of our relations - the creepy crawlies, the winged ones, and the all of living creation. it is work that comes from deep inside and sometimes i do become discouraged, too.
however, i do not give up - instead, i bring back my focus on the the things i believe in, the people and things i love, etc. - and get recharged out of doors.

your advice is worthy of being followed and also, we can remember - we are part of the revolution - something awakened in many during occupy and fighting for what is right. onward!
