Feeling that inexplicable burning in the bosom.


To many, my religious fellows, today may seem like a sad day. This is unfortunate to behold. To me, to us --I think I can speak for my husband--today is a beautiful and glorious day. Today is not about politics and its parties. It's about history, and it's about mental and emotional revolution. It's about change, and not to be plagiarizing, but it's about unity.


I'm grateful to live in a country where, finally, equality is has taken a huge chip off the walls of prejudice and racism. I'm grateful that many have taken risks, and have stood up for more than just political agenda of their own parties. What this new adminstration brings, we will all have to wait and see. Afterall talk is always cheap, no matter who it comes from. But, for today, we who are of the same religious affiliation, who have been and continue to be criticized and attacked, can stand as one with those who have been attacked not for their religious beliefs but the colors of their skin. I myself stand as one of those who feel prejudice for both.


Today we need to start over, with a clean slate. We need to be open to what the future can bring. Stop being judgemental because our new president maybe from a different political party, that's the main reason why our religious leaders do not take sides. In fact today, we need to be like our dear leaders: do not judge in any aspect. Be true if anything to your spiritual beliefs and not to the belief of your political party.
