As evil swirls around in the political and social worlds it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Why would people choose lies, deceit, domination, segregation, and general negativity over truth, honesty, sharing, equality and being positive? Who are these people and why are they so square? As the election results come in, I can see the wisdom in Wavy Gravy’s bus of merry pranksters traveling across the country doing comedy. Got to loosen up these southern midwestern people! Although, in today’s world a merry prankster could very likely be shot.

Instead of despair, this is the time to get active. This is the time for magic – a secret art but very effective. In one’s personal life you can see so many examples of magic; serendipitous alignments that manifest exactly what we need. We must be in the flow to make magic. The flow is a state where things happen effortlessly or seem to come together just right. It happens all the time and many people don’t recognize it as magic. The magic this world needs us to create is the positive flow magic.

To do this concentrate on feeling connected to the world -that at-ease feeling. Take a walk and practice noticing the birds or the clouds. Focus on beautiful things no matter how small. Radiate it out past yourself. Send it out to the larger world. This has an effect and is the only way to balance all the negativity.
