The wind oh the wind

It is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  i love this day.  i always have.  There is something special in it for me.  This year with the Inauguration following on it's heals, it feels even more special.

When i read moonroot's blog this morning i intrigued by her comments about the change she feels in the air.  i felt it too around the Solstice.  In the middle of a snow storm, so rare for us, i felt this strong feeling of having turned a page.  You know, i don't know what the new page says but i want to find out.  

Not only do i love MLK's day but i love Inauguration Day this year.  There was a time when i would not have ruled out a coop by Bush Co.  A complete and utter take-over...  So, i am feeling much relief that again, in our nation, we will have a peaceful transfer of power.  It happens so often now, all over the world, that it is commonplace.  Just two hundred years ago humanity had only a few, failed examples of this phenomenon.  Our founding fathers really were going on faith... hope.  Hope that they could construct a method to produce this crazy idea of 'transfer of power'.  

The winds of change continue to blow.  Literally, or is it figuratively, anyway, the wind here does not want to stop.  It was suppose to end yesterday but continues today.  Everything is getting torn up by it.  So, clean up is rescheduled for tomorrow.  Busy day tomorrow.  

i love the smell of Inauguration in the morning.
