Inspiration, then perspiration

Much has and will be written about this Inauguration Day.

I know I'll remember it forever -- like where I was when the first man walked on the moon or when the Berlin Wall came down.

History and possibility intertwined. Hope and exhilaration. The shock of the possible.

If this truly impossible and inconceivable change can happen, what more can we do?

"Let it be told to the future world... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive... that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."

It takes way, way more courage to be part of the solution than it does to criticize the process.

Be the change you want to see in the world.
