To be honest, I fully can't articulate the events of the last 24 hours. We sat at my sister Soph's house last night, young and old, and listened to Barack Obama give his acceptance speech. His journey will not be easy; the burdens of leadership will be most overwhelming. But I also come away hope-filled.
This was a small reflection followed by an interview with Maya Angelou. It is beautiful and chilling. I often wondered what it must be like for those people who journey through the civil rights abuses of the 1950's and 1960's to the historical election last night. Ms. Angelou offers some perspective. This is worth 7 minutes.

A new hope for America : Barack Obama
The victory of Barack Obama is a historical event for America and the world. The next big date is the Presidential Inauguration Day : January 20, 2009.
I have built a countdown clock to the day when President Obama will take office.
To see it in action, please visit : http://barackobamainauguration.blogspot.com/
The countdown clock can easily be added to your blog post.
The link at the bottom tells you how to put the countdown clock on your blog.
