I've been following several blogs lately and find them to be
very inspiring reading.
As I read David Byrne's Journal ( he is blogging his tour),
I found a passage written from Senegal about our election.
This it too rich not to share.
His words:
Rosa sat so Martin could walk
Martin walked so Barack could run
Barack ran so our children could fly.
Hopefully, this will stir the same emotions in each of you
as it passes through my blog.

Oh! How breath taking!
I want to teach this little poem to my students!
Lovely. Is it January 20 yet??
Here's another version I heard from a friend who is an African-American mutt like our president-elect:
Crispus fell, so Rosa could sit.
Rosa sat, so Martin could march. Martin marched, so Jesse could run. Jesse ran, so Barack could win. Barack won, so our children can SOAR!
Doesn't this make the future seem great?
I'm counting on the possibilities!!!!
