Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
~ president-elect barack obama
My greatest hope is that this man understands how much we are all pulling for him to live up to his speech. May he live as a moral caring person, disregard political games and truly see the People. May he fully understand how he can go down in history not only as the first black president, but also as a Great Unifier, a president for the people, a leader who can change the course of a nation and truly serve as an icon for peace, love, and community. Of course, I know that our success does not hinge on just one man, that is too much power put on one person. I believe that we all must take responsibility for the growth and realignment of our country. We all must come together and truly "be the change we wish to see in the world." However, I know that having a strong unifying captain at the helm can be a magnificent catalyst. I believe in him. I believe in us. And yes, finally for the first time in all my life, I believe in my country. Not in some strange "patriotic" way, but as people living in the same land, cherishing that land and cherishing each other. May peace prevail, may my children truly know a society that sees LOVE as the highest force and the truest expression of the Power and Might of a nation. "Yes, We Can."
