This day feels almost holy.
I know that Barack Obama is a human being, and I don’t want to burden him with my expectations. But I’m very hopeful. Everything I hear about his philosophy and approach is meaningful to me. Responsibility, listening, coming together, our better angels. I believe in this direction.
One of my Facebook Friends posted that she couldn’t wait until 1/20/13. I felt kicked in the chest when I read that. This is a person with whom I shared my shock when Bush won the 2004 election. I know that she is a religious conservative. I wanted to try to understand how others could feel so differently from me.
I guess it’s time to do that again (and continuously).
