Art of Preparedness

Anyone who knows me already knows my wish-list presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich, didn’t make the cut this time around. However, I have no complaints. We have elected, through a landslide decision, a president that holds great potential. If indeed his actions as Commander in Chief hold half of what his campaign trail words promised, then we are headed in the right direction.

This is the kind of support I’m talking about!

Our union is in peril, and what we hear on the news is only a clever smokescreen for the true harm we face. Yet instead of concentrating on the negatives we face, I want to deliver this…Hope is with us. Not for a very long time has America, the US of A, demonstrated to the world, in one action, our potential for greatness. With the election of a ‘black’ president (he’s not black, he’s mixed, like we ALL ARE!), a man who has truly seen the world and comes from a place of intellect, understanding, and grounded action, we have now collectivley achieved a shining example of all our founding fathers dreamt of. Thank goodness for that.

The night of the election we went to a local bar, where a good portion of the Ojai Valley was at, and witnessed, together, the announcement that Barack Obama would lead our nation away from the turmoil of the last eight years. People cheered. People screamed. And people wept. Tears of joy, of relief, and of disbelief streamed down men and women’s faces. For the first time since the infamous attack on NY I felt that we might be stepping with our best foot forward. Thank you to all who voted.

What a world we would live in, if every now and again we forgot ourselves, and remembered enjoyment.
