Couldn't stay up to watch the final results, but all day yesterday I was reciting exactly that speech like a mantra. Maybe it was that I'd seen it on a Pt's wall the other day. Maybe it was that the same Pt passed at 2a on election day. Maybe it was how very much Dr King's speech has always touched me. But it was that speech being my mantra, all day long.
I woke up to the news this morning. YES WE CAN!! I'm crying.
Just to tack on another piece of poetry, much less well known ... "now the dancing will end, though only for a time as we who dance today return to work more quietly in the world to bring old magick to a new birth." -- "Danu in Changetime", S B Fisher
