my first post - inauguration
just returned from Washington. i'm still high off the vibrations. wow. i am so inspired. i must say, i'm trying to capture the words- but they elude me. i can try to describe the sensations. awe. amazement. tingles. crying rivers of joy.
this is a true story - when i was in grade 6 a group of friends and i debated about whether or not there could be a black president of the united states of america in our life time. (we debated everything when we were kids from abortion to same sex marriage...? we were a strange breed - anyway) i was alone in the opinion that it was possible. they said "no way" and reminded me about the what we had just learned about in history class- the civil rights movement and the assassination and silencing of so many African-American leaders + it wasn't that long ago and america was and is a racially polarized country. still, i was adamant and insisted- 'forget the evidence it was possible'. if Dr. Martin Luther king thought it was possible- who was i to deny him that dream.our dreams are our own and no one, no one can tell us what to dream or put limits on our imaginations.
so on january 20th my dream and the dream of so many countless others came true. the world stopped and watched and listened. we came together as the realization of a dream became manifest before our eyes. perfect and glorious. here. right in front of us. in our time a shift in consciousness has occurred. we all witnessed that faith, hope and imagination are in fact tangible. that belief- unwavering belief has energy. and we all felt it together. truth and hope reign. love will bend the unmoveable. in this moment i am more faithful. more dedicated. present. grateful. i choose- faith, gratitude, creativity, service & love.
thank you obama and fellow citizens of this beautiful planet for sharing this life experience with me. i love you.
