Hallelujah!

This feeling of joy and disbelief reminds me of waking up the morning that Bill Clinton had first been elected President. A Democratic House and Senate! A female Speaker of the House! All this glory and righteousness takes a little getting used to.

I really saw the election and the weeks leading up to it as an epic battle in the clash of good vs. evil. I thought about all the ways we can be freedom fighters: by being artists, musicians, politicians with integrity, good parents, philanthropists, teachers, environmental activists, child advocates, civil rights workers. I feel a renewed sense of community with my countrymen and women.
