I had a great feeling this morning when I woke up to find out that Obama was the new president of the United States.
I thought about it all day: What must be going through his head? I mean it is not only the fact that HE was elected but who he is! A black president! What a chance he has, what a challenge for him! What a courage he will have to show during this first 4 years! What everyone expects from him?! The actual financial crisis, the wars, america's infrastructure, mother earth's suffering, people hoping finally for a CHANGE... the preassure under which he will have to live and work with...
And he gave us all an answer that will surely stay in our minds for a loooong time ... like the sentence from Martin Luther King "I had a dream", or the one from president Kennedy "I am a Berliner" ... Obama said: YES WE CAN ... and I see this sentence is already running through the net ... even avatars are already being changed: look at http://kathysmith.gaia.com/
Yes we can! What a simple but powerful affirmation!
Wishing Obama, all my american friends and the rest of the world a lot of positive energy to help this man's sentence come true for the sake of our planet, for the sake of humanity.
