Hallelujah

05Nov08

In my inbox this morning, the subject title above, and the message below from my dear friend Mary:

“Rosa sat down so that Martin could walk, and Martin walked so Obama could run, Obama ran so our kids could fly.”

This morning we all feel better about the future.

It’s not simply that we think Barack Obama will make a better President, policy-wise.  Or that we’ve supported him from day 1.

It’s that we believe that President Obama will usher in a culture in which the things that we think matter most–service, tolerance, global community, education, environmental sustainability, justice, civil rights, health care for all, energy conservation and alternative energy research–for the future of our children will be fundamentally represented in the highest office in our land.

Change.
