Deep thinky-thoughts.
Nov. 5th, 2008 08:27 pmAha! I knew I had this icon sitting around here somewhere! Except, really, victory is ours. And by ours, I mean all free-thinking people of the world. Because I'd like to think that this election represents a time when we Americans took stock of our cities and towns and then our country, and looked once again to the rest of the world for advice and perspective.
And you helped us; you prayed with us as we encouraged each other to turn aside from learned patterns of divisiveness, you kept hoping at each new unfolding of our minds back out on reality, and you kept all your extremely justifiable recriminations back as we surged together in true American fashion to elect two good men to the highest offices in the land, to widen the majority in our legislature of the party that must now tackle the problems facing us while helping us heal from that divisiveness, and through it all, world, you reached out your hands in friendship to us again and merely said, "What's next?"
