A dribble for yesterday.

[dreamflower]

I was trying to process my feelings about yesterday, and came up with this dribble:

A Golden Day

I was not there. I wasn’t shivering in the cold.
I didn’t walk hours to stand a mile away.
I wasn’t shoulder to shoulder with strangers,
exchanging stories of a wild, hurried journey.
but I laughed when they laughed,
I cried when they cried.
I listened in awe
to the dawn
of new
Hope.

It was a wonderful moment. Like I said to GW, it seems that the last *GOOD* thing that had everyone glued to their TV (as opposed to bad things, of which there have been a number) was the moon-landing.

wow. That's a really good point. You're right. We haven't had a lot of reason to be glued to our t.v.s as a nation (and world) for a good, long time!

I know. I mean, lots of bad things: Kennedy's assasination, MLK's assasination, Challenger blowing up, the OK City bombing, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina...

But *good* things? *sigh* There is quite an imbalance.
