On this momentus day

I have nothing negative to say. Seeing the sea of faces out on the National Mall reassures me that if we truly put our differences aside, and recognize that we are different, we can come together like a force of nature. It's impossible for someone to overlook the power that was harnessed today. And, even as history was being made, for a slight moment, I even became empathetic to our exiting President. What we have to realize is that each of us have our own demons and each of us have our own crosses to bear. If we remember that the person next to us is just as vulnerable and flawed as we are we can be more compassionate. I hope that some of what I saw today isn't the last time I see it. Men, women and children hugged and congratulated each other as they stood on the lawn. Hopefully, this will not be the last time that we see people come together for a common cause. So much can be accomplished once we overlook our differences and take more so into account our human similarities. Personally, I was moved. And as I sat in front of the TV waiting for Obama's swearing in, I said a prayer for all of us. Whether people think Barck Obama is going to lead "us" to the promise land is irrelevant. My thoughts, let's lead each other.
Peace
