Gatha 11.05.2008

When hope swells the heart of the world,
I vow with all Beings,
To enjoy the sweet bliss of this moment,
As we prepare for the hard work ahead.

This morning, at about 4:30 a.m. local time, Barack Obama was proclaimed the 44th President of the United States of America. I was up every two hours checking the news on my Blackberry. I barely slept. When I read the words of victory, I wept, and, consequently woke everyone in the family up. Erick told me before I left for work that I looked radiant - and I felt it.

Thank you Barack Obama, for being the inspiration that you are. Thank you for your willingness to lead our country during the toughest of times. May we all work together to become the nation we are so capable of being.

    I too was very excited about Obama’s win. It certainly gives me a lot more hope in our country’s recovery…and the image of us abroad. Take good care of yourself, Nona.
    Love,
    Jade

    oh yes, I was filled with a renewed hope that I haven’t felt in such a loong time for this country. I felt as if my heart, so filled with joy, was going to burst out of my body!
    and now I won’t have to move out of the country :-)
