"[W]e will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in America’s story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea":

As if waking from a troubled sleep.
Historic and wonderful!
Congratulations on your historic election! You might like to read this essay I saw in the paper today. I love the perspective and although I don't have the same perspective, as a much-moved army brat, I do have a different-than-usual perspective on global issues and so I appreciate the distinctions made.

Yes, Bill. I slept well last night, for the first time in several nights.
Thanks for the link, Julia. It is tremendously exciting to see people the world over inspired by yesterday's election.
