and a frabjous day it's been! it would have been perfect to have been in DC with those 2Million or so people... even tho i dislike crowds and avoid them whenever possible. we did spend much of the day watching MSNBC and the events of the day, often teary-eyed! what can i say other than i am filled with joy and hope and overwhelmingly happy to see the end of the Bush error. i really do believe that President Obama will be good for the country and the world. the only thing i'd have liked to see different in this day is a separation of church and state... and if it's necessary to ask for blessings, don't stop at blessing the USA... bless the whole planet as we ALL need any help we can get. and i LOVED that Yo Yo Ma played during the event, and that it was that piece even tho at the moment i can't remember the name of it. and now i'll go to bed, encouraged with the thought that there's hope now of getting ourselves out of the pit in which we find ourselves.
ETA: the name of that music is "Simple Gifts", written by Joseph Brackett in 1848
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right
