Wait. Is Donald Trump invited? His ideas?
Are those who have thus far repressed similar thoughts and feelings as
expressed by Trump...are they also invited?
Because: if he is not, if they are not, if those ideas are not, then:
the space that is purportedly open is in fact closed.
VERY closed.
Perhaps this dynamic is what causing Trump's various expressions to
resonate? Perhaps this dynamic is in fact energizing Trump's campaign?

Repression. It is similar to suppression in that a thought or feeling or
emotion is not expressed -- but in repression, we deny that the element
even exists.

Donald Trump has said what some people here in the USA (and elsewhere
in the world) have also been saying and feeling. These are the words
of fear. Unfortunately they are also the words of a demagogue, seeking
to play upon the fears of others. That there is danger is clear, but
an infinitely greater danger is that we sacrifice our essential
humanity to our fear. Sealing our borders, closing our doors and
windows... we close our space. And while it may appear safer, that is
an allusion. Life cannot be lived without space to live in. We are no
exception.
Recently we have been celebrating the warmth and depth of this global
community. It is a wonder. But the beauty of this community is not an
inherent gift, I believe. Rather it is the reflection of what we do.
Opening Space. Opening space is not magic. We did not invent it. It is
not even complicated. At root level it is simply inviting people to be
fully who and what they are, to greet each other and to enjoy the
space. We can do it. We can invite others to do it. And now is the time.
