Spontaneous singing of the Star Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, of chanting life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone...EVERYONE living in America erupting all over this country. Spontaneous groups of people joining together to announce out loud a release of anxiety, angst and anger that took almost ten years to cling to their souls. Spontaneous crowds of strangers reaching out to one another finding commonality and care identifying each other as friend.
In the midst of division, deceit, fiction and falsehoods, in the hue and cry of difference is bad, we vs they, my way or the highway, in the firestorm of fear and phony for moments on Sunday, May 1, 2011, there was no one as the enemy, no one as the problem, no one to blame, but EVERYONE to hug, hold, and holler stating how great a country in which we live.
In our recent history we have found more reasons to hate, to remove, reject, to ridicule. We have, in our recent history looked for losers act like lemmings, lie and never let self appointed others to be a part of our lives. Recently we never felt it necessary to find strength in inclusion, but enjoyed being exclusive.
I hope we as Americans can begin the process of healing, helping, and harken this pride this jubilation, this joy we felt on May 1, 2011 and begin again, become one America again, and again and again.
