Dear Max,
I really enjoyed reading your mail just now. Oh, wouldn't it be nice if enough
American voters could read body language as carefully? I have never been able
to watch our hopefully soon to be former president speak without grimacing at
his condescending smirk. Yep, it sure does look something like: Daddy, I do it
better than you. He's been trained to hide that smirk of late, but if you look
closely it's just under the surface. I pray to not have to see it much longer.
I honestly do not feel that people will be thrilled by Kerry- he has an
impossible job ahead of him (hopefully) and he has promised many impossible
things. Anything to get the vote I guess. Nonetheless, I will dance for joy if
he wins. Rather than weeping as I did when Bush was declared the winner last
time.
Full autumn has arrived here on the east coast of the US, and election day is 6
days away! Aiiieee.
Wish us something like sanity.
take care,
Libby Shapiro

Subject: [ConstellationTalk] Body language
Hello All,
those of us who participated in the recent Australian Federal Elections
may be interested in the observation of one particular instance of body
language:
Mark Latham the Leader of the Opposition had finished his campaign launch
speech and his wife came on to the stage and they hugged.
Next his mother came on to the stage and they hugged.
Both hugs were near identical: Mark burying his head deep into the shoulder
of both his wife and then his mum.
Twice he displayed the perfect image of an insecure boy seeking refuge with
his mum.
Watched by millions around Australia that was the moment he lost the
election, i dare say -of course with the benefit of hindsight.
(Prime minister)Howard´s message that Latham isn´t ready for the job was
given a convincing illustration.
Body language and the observation of it being such an important part of our
work is what leads me to mention those hugs. My instant reaction was very
similar to ones i experience during constellations; no immediate conclusion,
just an alerted, heightened sense of the importance of what just showed.
In a constellation the next step would probably be to encourage Mark to hug
again, this time however in a slightly more upright manner and then feel the
difference. (Well, he's got three years to practise)
Greetings from SE Queensland where full summer has arrived early
