Yogi Teapartiers

Did you ever wonder what might happen if the Teapartiers put Yogi tea bags on their hats?  Don't you think it might lighten them up a little? Here are a few Yogi quotes I really think might be appropriate:

"Strength does not lie in what you have. It lies in what you can give". One would think this would require some deep introspection, wouldn't one?

 "Uplift everybody and uplift yourself" and "Live for each other".  Those might stir up a little soul nagging, right?  I mean, correct???  We don't want to use the "right" word here, it gets way too confusing.

Lastly, "Old age needs wisdom and grace."  Now, surely they don't consider their shenanigans either graceful or wise…ugly, irrational anger is never accompanied by grace or wisdom.  Actually, quite the opposite, don't you think?

Maybe we should take up a collection of Yogi tea bags and send them to the Teapartier's head bagger. We can add a sweet, little note offering our best wishes for true enlightenment along their chosen path. And, on the front of the envelop, we could add one more quote…."peace begins with me." 

Deciding where to go with this is a major struggle.  I like the concept, but am fearful of offending because I am trying so hard to eliminate anger and understand it all in a peaceful and meditave mode.  My soul belief is that if we don’t find a way to interact with each other, we’re, essentially, doomed as the human species occupying Planet Earth.  We can blame Republicans all day long, and they, in turn can blame us.  The reality is, we’re both at fault.  There is a middle ground, and as painful as it may be, it is imperative that the majority of us find a way to meet.  There is no hope for the leftest of the left or the rightest of the right, these people have lost touch with reality.  But, for the rest of us...can we not find a way?  I so hope we can.

So, I’m just gonna put this out there and hope that it may create just one or two ripples...and who knows where the ripples may lead?  Hopefully, somewhere peaceful....
