A more abrupt ending than I wanted because visitors came as I was writing
On the fifth of November last year, truthmaker posted a little Doctor Who story called What Mine Eyes Have Seen, a story that makes me tear up just thinking about. I kinda clicked very early on exactly what was going on in said story, but I'm not going to say it here. I'll let you read it.
In a similar vein, today I read Leonard Pitts Jr.'s latest column, Years of struggle, sacrifice bring us to this historic day. And I cannot express the levels of shivers I got, and the tears.
I am not an American. 99% of the time, I would not want to be an American. But I don't know if, even with the level of excitement happening currently in America, you can understand the hope that is held in the world right now. I was in the Op Shop today, and there was a discussion of American politics that, for the first time in years, didn't have us cursing the US administration, but talking about the hope for the future. Admittedly, most of these comments were accompanied by a prayer that no one assassinates him, but there is a palpable air of hope and an actual diminishing of anti-American sentiment -- a sentiment that has been building for years here.
I will actually be back in the Op Shop when our TV networks air the inauguration -- the first American inauguration I have ever actually been interested enough in to notice it being on TV. I'll be taping it, and I know it will be in the 1% of time I wish I could be a part of such a moment in history.
