Change has come

I am so excited about today. President-elect Barack Obama will be sworn in as president. The excitement of the world as well as America is palatable.

Change has come. I'm listing a link to a video that touched my heart and demonstrates the togetherness we the people are embracing with the election of this amazing young man.

Please remember you/we are the change. Do something to be the change.

In the words of St. Francis of Assisi:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Live in the moment, each moment of now.
Strive to be the best of who you are in each moment of now.

This is the change that is needed.
