This inauguration makes me hungry!
It is great to see people in high spirits. Whether or not you voted for Obama, this is a blessed day when you see that there is opportunity for a person who 40 years ago would have had very little. People are elated and I just heard some women singing about crawfish on the bayou. Yum. With some corn and potatoes (and cajun spices of course!), I could totally go for that right now!
And yes, I stood outside last night with my husband and good friend and talked about the significance in history in general, that the U.S. is able to have such a smooth transition of power. But you cannot deny that there is a little something extra special this time, you cannot deny that whether or not you agree with the politics of Obama or not, there are some people hanging out today that would never hang out. So maybe it is time to sit and listen to each other’s stories. Maybe this should not even be a day of politics, but a day to sit and remember how far we have come as individuals, and realize all that others are doing and feeling.
Yes, I guess we can.
