I have gotten chills up and down my spine constantly for the past two days, feeling this pronounced energy within myself and around me in anticipation of Inauguration Day. No matter what vote you cast on Election Day, it is undeniably electric the excitement you see from people all over our country for Barack Obama. I have renewed hope and pride for the United States, not only because of our new President, but because of the response of the people. A job that big could never be done by one person, but with the inspired hope of ALL of us working together anything seems possible.
In light of the holiday honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., it is astounding that his dream has come full circle. In his "Letter From Birmingham Jail", King writes, "...in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty." If King were alive, that not too distant tomorrow he spoke of could definitely be witnessed today.
