It's been a while since I've posted on this blog. The busy days of December gave way to a bit of January duldrums that I've been trying to shake off. And then, suddenly, it was January 20, 2009.
When Barack Obama raised his hand, swore a solemn oath and became the 44th president of this country, we grew up a bit. His presidency speaks to me of our ability to act on hope instead of fear and to call upon our better natures as members of the human collective.
My dream for this new year is that the enthusiasm and the optimism that was so palpable on the mall in Washington, in a crowd that actually was as diverse as we imagine that we are, can carry us beyond our selfish and petty concerns. My dream, my prayer for us all, is that we really do all grow up, take responsiblity for one another, and live into a world where justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing stream.
