It is a new day. This is the moment. It's all about hope and virtue. What a week! What a country! What a man!
My sweet daughter and I had dinner this evening and we talked about the historic nature of our times - this week in particular. And she was struck by how much everyone is talking about how historic this is - she wondered whether it's allowed to talk about history and to "mark it" as history as it is unfolding. It seems a little like cheating.
She wondered if people really realized the importance of those days of dreaming and hoping with Martin Luther King. It was before the internet and cell phones and 24/7 CNN updates. How did it all unfold and when did people really realize the power and importance of those moments and those words and actions?
I am glad that I am here now to live these moments. I am ready to do what I can to help this country along. We are excited to see it unfold and to be apart of creating and working toward something better.
What will it look like?
