1/21/09 Some of us have been waiting decades for what happened yesterday. I’m talking about having a leader who speaks eloquently and makes careful decisions based on reality and principle, someone who makes us all want to be better, smarter, kinder. Thank you Barack Obama and thank you American electorate. Last night I slept in peace. This podcast today is in honor of all those who never lost their confidence that such a leader would appear, that such principles might again be named as American. Listen in to hear my poem, Dialysis, first published in The Christian Century in 1984, read and discussed. Blessings to this land that I love and those who take care of it. Cynthia A New Beginning.mp3
