Donald! Duck!

Quick! Get DOWN, dude! There's a lot of mud slinging your way!

And your pitching arm is warmed-up as well... you're slinging some phrases around that sound awfully reminiscent of 1935 Germany, mein Trumpkin.

If all the women complaining about your overreaching hands band together in a class action suit, they could possibly get a "grope discount."

Really? Can't you keep those small digits to yourself?

And Hillary, dear, please, sweetheart, you need to get down too... but more like... take the coat hanger out of your suit before you put it on! Get some rhythm going, gal! Let the wind blow through your hair. 

I agree, it certainly is a narrow tight rope way up there under that glass ceiling, and I know you've been unfairly taken to task for every visual image imperfection. You're right. It's NOT fair! No one counts Donald's wrinkles, or chin whiskers, or chins for that matter. His suits are better at hiding the cuddle muscles around his waist. 

He'd better not stalk you this Wednesday, as he did last "debate!" 

Don't belittle yourself, Ms. Clinton, Be BIG yourself, dear! With swing states and purple states waffling in the wind, nothing is a given.

People! People!! People!!!

Complacency paves the way of despots. We've got to stand up and speak our truth, and listen to other's truths. The next four years will be long and possibly brutal for our country, unless we learn to walk side by side with those who think differently from us. We must listen. We must listen to what's underneath the anger, frustration, and desperation. We must listen until the vitriol is spent and  then ask "What's next?" It's the cover over the feelings that is dangerous, not the human heart itself. 

We're closer than we think. We're more alike than we are different. How we gonna come back to respect for and acceptance of our sisters and brothers on the planet? How we gonna get back to respecting our Mama Earth?

Listen.

Smile where smiles are unexpected.

Being human is irresistible. Other humans are caught off guard when they don't expect humanity to shine through. Your actions are powerful.

Vote your heart out... but vote for the succeeding generations, not for a joke, or out of vengeance, or spite for the current political climate. Bernie is past. But his vision for a sane political landscape has ignited passion. Let's not waste it.
