Life's Rich Pageant

Living near the ocean teaches a person quite a bit about "horizons". Looking out at the furthest point where sky and water meet is a beautiful, changing, and sometimes confusing sight. As the sun is rising and reflections exist in the water along with a thousand colors in the clouds, it is right to feel a sense of awe. The horizon is a hopeful place.

Today we embark on a new journey with that same hopeful horizon. I do not mean to put so much pressure on Obama as to compare him to the sun but it is clearly a new day for the people of this nation and, potentially, our worldwide brothers and sisters. Not every day will be sunny, we will continue to go through storms and rough waters but let us enjoy today and look forward to tomorrow.

Peace, in its many and wonderful forms, unto our nation and our world.
