A New Sun Has Risen
>> Thursday, November 6, 2008
A lot has happened since the last blog entry.
I've been prolific in my writing and have been back to publishing articles (which is why nothing goes to the blog).
There is a major and global economic slump.
Wedding plans are moving forward.
And more importantly, the United States has chosen the new highest leader of their land.
Not one to ever be politically inclined or even remotely keen, for the first time in my life I have taken a sincere interest in the politics of a country that greatly affects mine. At around 10a.m. in the morning yesterday, I was glued to cnn live.com all the way until the people of Chicago began shouting and crying. People find it difficult to believe that I haven't owned a television in years and choose not to. Yesterday, I was thankful for my laptop and my fabulous DSL connection that enabled me to watch one of the greatest turns in this generation's history happen as Barack Obama and his family came out to greet his supporters.

I was in awe at the change in people's collective consciousness.
Truly, something very important is happening all over the world.
There is much to be learned from the winner.
And there, too, is much to admire in a graceful exit.
