Night And DaY Transformed

Just when I think this world and people cannot get any better something affirms
"Keep Your Head Up,
Hold On,Keep The Faith Baby.

I have not eaten since mid Monday, ignoring radio/tv pundants purposely until the next President is chosen.

Rent paid using my E.B.T. card (always forget what the initials mean, its my food card and not General Assistance check combined).

I don’t like it but you deal with change or change deal with you.

While paying rent, saving what I can, and preparing to see my worker in a day or two this Presidential race drifted in and out of focus until Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2008.

Early up to vote and not hear or see talking heads back to looking for stuff to take to my G.A. worker.

I almost fell asleep before tuning in the radio hearing who is the next President!
“Barack Obama is our 44th President OF The United States.”
WHAT, WHAT, OH MY GOD, THE PEOPLE YOUNG, OLD, RAINBOW HEWED HAD ELECTED NOT SELECTED A NEW PRESIDENT!

I’ve been floating since President Elect Obama’s victory and acceptance speech.

Yes, I didn’t expect to see this in my lifetime but it’s not about me now its young folks and children born and yet to be born who’ll grow up knowing
without a doubt have a Black President hopefully one of many.

Further more it will be not even debated but a given that anyone Fem, Male, whichever religion or sexual orientation will have an equal opportunity to become leader of this land.
There are still hurtles, trials, and problems abound.

It will take all of us as a nation and global humanity to solve them, everyone is
needed to keep striving to find the best in all of us to improve the lives of past, present, and future generations.

If any you listened to my voice on San Francisco Liberation Radio. Net you know there is a lot more I personally want than an election to be won and dreams in to reality flurrish but that’s a quirk uniquely mine and a few other imaginative and brave souls to shad light where ever darkness reins and set ark lights keeping shadow, mist, and dark bleakness forever away.

Now must get back to a pigsty single room occupant apartment and look for important documents needed.

Take care everyone, let us all be...

(I'm borrowing a phrase from an old-young
traveler) some of you may know of his recent return.

Brilliant, open eyes to a new day.

The dawn of many great days to come.
