I'm a big West Wing TV show fan. Big.
As time goes by, when I watch these reruns, I'm astounded by the many meaningful messages that can be taken from the program.
I recently watched an episode where the president's daughter is getting married and they are having a White House wedding. At the same time, 2 nations in the Asia Pacific are about to wage war over oil issues. After much frustration and time spent in trying to find a solution on the part of the US president, and with a room full of waiting guests, he asks the Russian president if his daughter has ever been married, and the answer is yes. At that point President Bartlett (Martin Sheen) tells him that he has to go walk his daughter down the aisle and he is 45 minutes late because he can't get off the phone until he knows that the Russians will not advance their troops.
While he stands with his daughter before the procession, he is brought to tears by a memory of her at 4 years old running out in between the border of East and West Berlin. She, at 4 years old was able to remind the soldiers and guards of their human connection and they all began waving at her and then at each other.
Our connection, our energetic relationship is one that has more power than we know. When we behave in a human manner, the best way that we can, we are promoting the good, the betterment of all. What are ways that we can do that on a daily basis?
