12 days to go....... Carpe Diem!

For me... the wait is like labor... the contractions get harder and harder at the end
but it 's fine because it is the Birth of a New Nation.... 
the beginning of a new America...
the awakening from a long fitful sleep 
to the actualization of a multicultural, multi global Dream.

Barack Obama has not only practiced Carpe Diem 
but he has seized the moment in history... 
a profound moment of change
that resonates around the nation..... 
and around the world 
as loudly as the moment that was seized by Rosa Parks....

This is not a refusal to go to the the back of the bus,
but a profound moment to drive the bus 
into a new future for America and the world.
