The night of the 20th, we played back our favorite recording of the day, and acted as if it was real-time, not allowing any tipoffs from our various elated friends who played hooky and watched in real-time on this pivotal day. K, Reed, and I sat glued to the tv, watching the buildup of the inauguration, claps, boos, arms waving in statement, eventually laughing, crying, dancing took place in our little time capsule of a living room. Between their regal yet humble expressions, to the concise and timely words of the world's state, openly acknowledged for all to realize, this binds a new set of neural connections. Then a level of determination-confidence-hope which I've never felt firsthand coming from the highest office...has modified...Previously not a flag guy, I am currently spangled and waving inside. I`·.,,.·'CAN`·.,,.·'PICTURE`·.,,.·'BARACK`·.,,.·'And `·.,,.·'MICHELLE`·.,,.·'AND`·.,,.·'DAUGHTERS`·.,,.·'AS`·.,,.·'US They are for our ideals, they are from our times, their minds work on our levels, technical colleagues, inspirational beings. For the first time we feel the best part of this democracy. Here's our president taking a train trip! We know how it is...safe and intimate at the same time ;-)
We had just traversed the US as a family on the California Zephyr, through the Sierra Nevadas, Great Basin National Parks, Rocky Mountains across the Misissippi River where the Bald Eagles are holding their glorious comeback all the way to Chicago, the source of the energy which started this all.Then back again by rail, the way it will be in the future, seeing our nation in a new, proud way.
Great memories combined with new memories, we feel like we are so much part of these events of the last two months! Now we are ready to pull along on this ride. http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/the_whistle_stop_tour/ Hope, Care, Effort, Connections, Empathetic and Vicarious experiences on a grand scale, Can leed to great deeds, by us all. t, k & r.
