inauguration day

i am surprised to say that I am feeling effected by this. i just got teary watching barack and his wife get out of a limo. i have never felt a connection to soemething political like this. the emotion comes from seeing a black couple, a young couple, people that seem like good people as the leadership of this country. it looks so different and we havent seen anything different like this before and for as long as i can remember, ive searched for that. is there hope? will things change? will i feel the sense of being an american that i have never felt, always feeling to be immersed in a country where its government is gross. he is politician, no doubt. there will be compromises, no doubt. ive come to believe that the machine is clogged in its stale, crooked repetition and never saw and end in site but there is something bright about this. at least today there is. over the years, ny interest in politics and news and current events and history has dissipated as I became aware of the contrived toxic cycles. but there has always been a vision of change. of compassion. of assistance. of respect. is it the dawn of those principles for us? i would love nothing more. i know, it may be a bit of the cheesy but I would love to see an end of suffering. I would love to see a reduction in the gap between rich and poor.id love to see an end to violence. Id love to see us take care of one another.
