Wow,
what a night.
I went downtown to share election night returns with the Obama crowd.
Watching the evening unfold was a great show -
by the time of Obama's well worded acceptance speech.
Hope suddenly seemed like it was worth believing again.
I even found myself waving a US flag
like I haven't imagined doing since pre 9-11.
It felt really good to do.
Tough days will surely follow ~
and only time will tell if the promise of a thoughtful approach to world problems will prevail.
But, at least it seems within the realm of possibility ~
in a way that was impossible with the corporate driven cheney/bush crew
I’m a citizen disappointed by the shallowness of our media and lack of honest examination of today’s deeper challenges. Such as coming to grips with what society has done to our Earth’s biosphere (life support system). I realize no one likes bad news, but faith-based denial isn’t going to do our children any good either. ~ ~ ~ Thus I’ve taken to writing what I'd like to see more of and to sharing selected writings of others. ~ ~ ~ feel free to copy and pass along any of the following.
