And As It Ends, So It Begins

President-elect Barack Obama.

Powerful, profound moment.

I am so grateful to be alive and to have had the chance to participate in this moment.

I am also so full of emotion right now that I can hardly think.

When the dust settles, we all of us end up in our own little corners of our world, our homes, feeling a bit small and insignificant in the end, carving out a silent space to absorb the full impact and meaning of it all.

It is almost too much to bear.

God bless this great country of ours.

    Congrats on the victory, Huck.

    I don't know what it feels like to have a politician who you are really excited about actually win out, but it has to be pretty gratifying.

    I too am filled with much emotion this evening, but it is of a very different stripe than the emotion you are likely feeling!

    Congratulations Huck.

    As you know, I am not thrilled about Obama, but he is about to become my president. If he leads well I will support him, if not I will voice my objections.

    I pray that you are correct and that he will be good for this country.
