Inauguration Day - The Future Is Now

I have seen many changes in my life.

Cultural, social, political.

Change - a funny word when you think of it. The one inevitable constant in life is change. Mostly we fear it. Face it with anxiety, trepidation, even dread.

It is never what we expect. Rarely as bad as we fear nor as good as we wish.

It is after all the unknown.

Once in a while we look for it, embrace it even desire it.

This is one of those times.

One of those rare times when we as a people have said we would rather look forward with hope.

We want to embrace the future.

No longer will we cling to the worn out ways of the past.

No longer will we be swayed by old and tired dogma.

Pundits keep telling us that "its the economy stupid" but they are wrong.

They tell us that the Republicans lost sight of there fundamentals but they are wrong.

The people are tired of leadership that follows. Leadership that sees the world through blinders. Leadership that can divides between us and them.

Many years ago a man spoke on the Mall in DC of having a dream.

He spoke to a future that judged not by the color of ones skin but the content of ones character.

Today we take a quantum leap toward that future. We are not there yet. Much work remains.

However for now hope is the order of the day.
