inspiration
this is really inspiring. a time of shift, the beginnings of a new consciousness. 'change' doesn't feel powerful enough. change is a constant. this feels like an awakening. i'm excited and inspired by the choices of my fellow citizens. i keep thinking about kennedy, and richard pryor, and the civil rights movement, all moving, all bubbling up into our larger, sleepy national awareness. 'we shall overcome' has new meaning for me. a promise realized. a waking dream. a new connection between heart and mind.

wow, nicely said. it's funny what people were saying to me all day about Obama. Many in Honduras only see the color of his skin and say things to me like "how do you feel having a black man run your country" and things like that. I think having a minority in the white house is long overdue and hopefully this is just the beginning of the "changes" that our country needs so badly.
