Now it has come true. I predicted it long time ago.

Congratulations to Americ and its new president!

Albert

Yes.

Pretty damned amazing isnt it?  Yes!

So happy for y'all, i was brimming over too,  and I am in UK.
Peggy do your representatives have a website like our politicians do?  We can communicate with ours and  with hard work and persistence change does come eventually.  Someone should invite Obama and hiis wife to join Gaia. LOL

yes, a magnificent speech & a powerful moment seeing Jesse Jackson crying. And yes I cried too with a feeling of relief that an opening for change is a happening. I'm in Denmark, which feels like Obama land too as 88% of Danes would have made the same choice if pos.

shit I missed the Jesse Jackson moment….and I so need a cry.

Congrats kcidybom and all my American cousins, 

Obama transcends race.  He's black.  He's white.  He's a union of both.  And he's much, much more than that …  because he's way more than the colour of his skin or the party he belongs to.  He represents a new era where labels and categories are disappearing , and the well-being of mankind and the planet are coming to the forefront.    Awesome!

Hi Zephyr

Someone should invite Obama and hiis wife to join Gaia. LOL

President Barack Obama & You!

Peggy I'm about to go post a link to this on the Pod. 

It's my blog for today – for anyone who missed the speech or the joyous, tearful faces i the crowd, the whole thing is there on my blog, along with the transcript that I typed out while listening over and over again to that brilliant speech!! 

and otter has compiled a brilliant list of quotes that fit right in with that message.


albert – it's so wonderful to see you posting again!  I've missed you! 

and I'm tickled that Obama is going to get a Gaia invitation.  Why don't we all send one!  :-) 

I am probably going to get misty eyed for the rest of my life every time I think about last night,and that speech.
and you blogging again makes me cry too,I miss seeing you here.

I don't think I had ever been so nervous or scared for so long as the final days leading up to the election.  Having seen firsthand the shenanigans the politicos can and have pulled off, the malfunctioning voting machines (only when one voted Democratic) the missed deliveries of ballots and fliers changing the voting dates, I was on pins, needles, razors, clam rakes and nails.  But, what a finish, eh?!  Enfin!

great link albert.  so touching. 

george – what's a clam rake??  :-) 

beautiful finish indeed!! 

and george –welcome home.  :-)

A clam rake can be a fast back, bubble, square back, jerk or Rhode Island rake.  It sits very quietly on the porch just outside the door of the shack on the shore near to its companion, the wire bucket.  The handle is wooden and may be 100 years old, stained with sweat and oils from those that have used it.  It's grasped along with the bucket and carried down to the tidal flats at low tide, twice a day, but best at sunrise or sunset.  Then, quietly falling into a rhythm of digging and searching, all sorts of wonderful clams are raked from rich and flowing sands and soils as the ocean has departed for a bit.  It is the best tool for letting one's mind fall quiet as the cold ocean swirls around your rubber booted feet and the shore birds follow like obedient doggies.  It allows the fears of a stolen election to fall away as fast as the wire bucket fills.  Then, when all fears have drifted off, then you can collect driftwood, build a fire, snap the transistor radio off as the election was won, yes, we can, and prepare the clams over the rich pitch pine fire and ponder, what's next?

wauv! that is without competition the best describtion of a clam rake ever..I see the sun setting, hear the ocean, smell the pitchpine & yearn for clams, thank you Geo : )

George, that was beautiful. Albert, I cried too. I so feared issued with counting the votes. I was so happy in that clean moment when the results were announced. I thought McCain's concession speech was eloquent too. I will never forget the night of Nov. 4th.

thank you for enlightening me about clam rakes George.  I really am a Colorado girl.  I know so little about coasts and beaches and such.  :-)

my son sent me a clipping of the brooklyn streets after the acceptance speech. He is in there some where with a flag shirt on. here it is. I have never done that hyperlink thing so I hope it works.

I was so happy on the night of the 4th of Nov. I wrote a poem instantaneously on the screen directly on my Gaia blog. 

A DREAM FULFILLED

A DREAM FULFILLED

a poem written by Samme S. Samareta
on the night of November 4, 2008
directly on the Gaia.com blog
dedicated to the hearts and souls
of every man and woman living and dead
and dedicated to President Barack Obama

Thank you for the dream

The dream that was once deferred

The dream that is now no longer a dream

A dream that is now fulfilled

They say this dream

Is an impossible dream

But no star is unreachable

Everyone is teachable

To the ways of the heart and soul

Everyone is able

Go tell it to the mountain

Because their eyes were watching god

Mountain high, river deep, valley low

Swing high, sweet chariot

The promised land is not a land

It is a heart of a man or a woman

This time of a man who will lead us

To change and give us new hope

Go set the table for we will dine

We’re all one and all is fine

We will sit with the spirits of those

Who came before us

Who sadly perished

Who built the foundations of this nation

Along with the indigenous peoples

Who worked and toiled this soil

Who breathed the same air

That they even want to sell

Come let us sit among kindred

The souls of black folks

Nameless faces

Forgotten tribes and races

Erased traditions and communications

Still they rise

Tubman, Dubois, Harriett Beecher Stowe

Langston Hughes, Frederick Douglass,

John Brown, James Baldwin

Rosa Parks, Malcolm X,

Martin Luther King, Jr.

who ignited the dream

Countless dead folks

And living people

I am the dream

You are the dream

We are the dream

Together as one

We will make it

A reality.
