Reawaken

I don’t want to get political here. All are welcome, and always will be.

But Tuesday night we witnessed history. After two years of being told to sit down, and stay quiet, millions of Americans took to the polling place and said in one loud ringing voice “No”.

As tempting as a victory lap is to take, it’s important to stay focused, and stay vigilant. Not just against reprisals, but against the temptation to wallow in revenge. The desire to make them feel the despair and the pain we’ve felt for two years is a sweetly seductive allure, but we must resist that just as fervently as we did the oppression they tried to inflict upon all of us.

The fact is, there’s still a very long road ahead of us. This was an epic first step, now the work begins. We must rebuild what was torn down. We must strengthen the guardrails so nothing like this happens again.

Again, this isn’t intended as a political statement, but life is politics. My outstretched hand is open, not clenched. Lets go to work, together.

Now back to you regularly scheduled program. 😉
