I awoke this morning and like always, it was before sunrise. I waited in anticipation for the sun to rise and shine, but the sun did not shine through the heavy, dense clouds.
I have taken the day off to sit in a corner and lick my wounds, like a feline who has been through a grueling cat fight.
I need time to heal. i need time to cry. I need time for quiet reflection.
I am torn. Torn between wonder of how much we, Americans, have progressed since the “civil rights movement” and the disappointment of losing what I considered to be the most important election in my lifetime.
Obama has been compared to JFK and that is one of my biggest concerns. JFK was such a young man, with little experience, we lived through very trying times. During JFK’s term, the Berlin wall was built. Let us not forget the debacle of “the bay of pigs:. And yes, the Cuban missile crisis.
Ain’t no sunshine, either figuratively or literaly. At least not today.
But in the words of Scarlet, tomorrow is another day.
