i’m filled with hope today as i watch my country welcome a new president.
hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul,
and sings the tune–without the words,
and never stops at all,and sweetest in the gale is heard;
and sore must be the storm
that could abash the little bird
that kept so many warm.i’ve heard it in the chillest land,
and on the strangest sea;
yet, never, in extremity,
it asked a crumb of me.(e. dickinson)
Powerful.
Glad to hear you’re plugged back in!

did you go to the inauguration? A couple of my coworkers did, and a guy I talked to in a thai restaurant last night did. Everyone was excited about it. I can’t imagine dealing with those kinds of crowds, and I had already used so much vacation I was reluctant to use more, but after the fact, part of me wishes I’d gone anyway.
Following it on dcist was almost as good though!

deb, no i didn’t go to the inauguration. like you, a few of my coworkers did, and, although i can’t imagine dealing with crowds of that magnitude, a small part of me wanted to go just to be a part of it all.
in the end, i elected to watch the CNN coverage from the warm comfort of my condo.
