We live in exciting times!
I'm allowing myself to be unabashedly optimistic right now -- while I know Obama is only a man, not a savior who can right our wrongs at will, I also know that he has awakened a spirit in many. Yesterday felt electric: the hope, the community of strangers, the collective opportunity to make a difference.
That's where the change must happen. In us. With us.
His inaugural speech said it well:
Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies.
What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility...
How, then, shall we live?

Love the photos of Noah and "Mmm-ba". I wonder if that'll catch on?
