of the Daily Reflection.  After sharing that page with Thereishope yesterday I did a reflection on that page and what it mean't to me on 11/8/11 or the Tuesday before last.  I was done with work and on my way to get a rain hat at the Army surplus store cause we've been getting tons of it and I work outside mostly.  I was just behind my wife's car and feeling pretty secure that the day was going as planned and that my HP was trusting me to secure another fine day when I got lit up by one of the local cops.  I know what it was about...I've been lit up several times for it and it's about my Indigenous Hawaiian status and citizenship in a government that is not of the US.  I am a citizen of the Lawful Hawaiian Government and my truck is registered and licensed in the LHG.  I also have a drivers license and more and am not a US citizen.  Won't explain that any further...anyhow...planning to go get a rain hat diverted over to going to jail after a severe state police beatdown because I was refusing that they would take my government plates which I paid for and were personal property.  The beat down was a first hand, living definition of insane and police brutality and in the end of course they got my plates their way.  The state's charge is "resisting arrest" after attempting to make it "Interfering in a Government Operation".  I don't need the clarification I can see thru that.  The vehicle infraction is "fraudulent use of plates".   This is all in spite of the US Governor recently signing an Act which promotes and puts into motion the ability and right of the indigenous Hawaiian Peoples to seek self determination and sovereignty.  Guess that was something other than what we heard.  The cops didn't read the notice and so a week+ later I'm kinda, sorta slowly moving from gimpy to limpy.

I turned myself over to my own govenment for a hearing and discernment which will come shortly.  For now the fur is about to fly however I wanted my own government to judge my intentions and actions and behavior before letting a foreign government do it.  My HP was there.  I had concerns that if what was happening to me was seen by my wife that we might put her fears in order (she is not Hawaiian) and she would not be soooo disturbed by this part of me and how it has affected her life.  HP's got that also and I'm not try to up stage HP's work by making a bad decision.  HP was there also because as I was laying in the rain getting roughed and cuffed I unexpectedly had concerns for the men I use to work with in Alternative to Violence groups.  I prayed that they reaffirm that there is no justification to violence.  As far as I know that was most important with my HP to let me know it is right on because after my morning AA at the Bay meeting a young man very excitedly made his aquaintence with me and asked if I remembered him.  I couldn't relate right off and he told me that he was a past ATV group member from 6 years before and that he had never violated since he had been in the group.  He also told me that he was 6 months "clean" and just ready to go to the NA meeting right after our AA meeting.  HP told me clearly that HP heard and I was grateful that the program had worked on this young man.  I told him what had just happened and what my concern and prayer had been while on the ground getting cuffed and that I was glad he affirmed the prayer.  He was soooo happy and so was I and just a bit surprised because I'm getting use to how my HP works in these matters.

I had a plan for that day and the willingness to work it and it got worked and HP let me know that the earlier plan, the one from 6 years before was what I needed to know about. 

Time takes time and the situation is proceeding forward.  The trusted servants of my government will do their work as will HP abide and I will see what my next part is.  For now I'm just saying "Place me where you need me and tell me what to do."

The rain hat was too large.  The smallest one works best.  Guess that says something about shrinking pride and ego huh?
