Seed tomorrow with wise, intelligent transformation today!
Is there anyone who did not, with genuine awe, experience the inaugural artistry written and delivered with amazing grace by the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history?
Amanda Gorman completed her poem “The Hill We Climb,” after watching extremists storm the Capitol, stating, “I’m not going to in any way gloss over what we’ve seen.” Beginning with:
When day comes we ask ourselves,
where can we find light in this never-ending shade?
Change begins with awareness, acceptance of the truth, and a sincere commitment to transformation. Perhaps, as a nation, we stand at the brink of reformation.
This 22 year old poet reminds us: We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished
We’re simply unfinished. As a nation, we continue to write our story. And, in that process we can lean on, even depend on government to be responsible for holding the pen. However, we share the responsibility in creating a future that holds opportunities for all as we attempt to create the yet completed more perfect union.
When day comes we step out of the shade, aflame and unafraid
The new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it
Will this republic we share survive? Will we finally begin to listen to the chronicles of generations who have been left out of the great American dream, no matter how hard they’ve tried? Shall we sit in brutal honesty and accept the truth of policies and practices that have restricted specific citizens, marginalizing them, pushing them to the edge of society, not allowing them a place within it. It requires a good amount of us to take a deep and truthful look in our collective mirror for the healing process to have a glimpse of a chance.
Life is calling . . . Today’s the day!
