We have been blessed with bright days this month.
The first five days dragged by and then election day
came and was nerve racking. It lasted until early
hours of the next day and there was a calm which
was needed for over 70 million nervous systems
to settle down and heart palpitations to restore to normal.
On the other hand, there were many million disappointed
souls who felt that their vote wasn’t enough to carry their
candidate to victory. A concession speech was planned and
the loyal constituents waited, standing for up to seven hours,
to hear it, only to be told that it was cancelled until tomorrow
although this was already tomorrow. They walked away with
their heads down, disappointed again. It finally came later that
day in the late afternoon. It sounded more like a campaign speech
then a concession, but she did not call the President-Elect any names.
She received very nice applause and then the crowd dispersed
once again. Today the sun is shining and the bright glare off the
lake is blinding. And you must look away. Our border will remain
open, I guess, until sometime in January. Then the President can
put back in lace the many things which were cancelled out by
the 46yh President. With God’s grace we will be headed in the
right direction. As Leonarde Cohen said, “Ring the bells that still
can ring, forget your perfect offering; there is a crack, a crack in
everything. That is how the light gets in.”
