Tonight, I had decided some time ago, I would write something(s). I'm not sure why, really, whether for others, or for myself, or for my future self. Commemoration? To remind myself who I was? Probably, but also to help myself locate my role in everything around me.
So, for everything,
thank you, all of you.
And, congratulations to Barack Obama,
America's next President.

What we found, Together
please watch. it's short.
Softly, as Mr. Gump, America jogs onward.
My home state is covered with plants of great height; like oceans, you can see the top, but not the floor. Today those plants clapped loudly while a national wind bounced through our recent Indian Summer.
I watched intently as leaves shook and plead with their parents to let them stay,
and,
the parents waved goodbye, kissed their leaves, and let them fall to the world below-gracefully, not roughly as the leaves themselves feared.
The wind blew the only candle out. At first, the people were afraid. They threw their heads back in preparation for a devastating wail of defeat.
Yet, when their chins arrived in the air, they swallowed their screams. For, in the blackness of their darkest night,
they rediscovered the stars.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us,
or we find it not.
