fear and hope

so after watching the speech given by Barack Obama last week i have been thinking a lot about the people that make up this nation.

i have been thinking about how he transferred the responsibility for change from washington to that of the people. and how it is a very fearful thing to be hopeful. to imagine a reality different from what one knows and then pursuing that reality can produce a fear that is disabling.

i have been thinking about how the people have had the responsibility all along to bring about heaven on earth. and yet sometimes we remind ourselves of the hell that we see everyday and refuse to believe that we have any we have any duty in cooperation with our prayers.

i have been thinking about Barack Obama's reference to all that is unseen and how easily i get captured by the limitations of my eyes.
