We are in a place that is uncharted. We are in today. We have yesterday as an indicator and tomorrow as a possibility. But we have not lived through the time or had the experiences that await us today. This is an adventure and an opportunity. What we seek and find may confirm our insights or confound our expectations. We choose so much.
What about the current situation with Pres. Obama? This is an interesting time. I think that Pres. Obama will face many of the same challenges that all of us see in any president. We were cracking jokes about baby Bush and spitting out spiteful comments that stopped just short of being treasonous. The man is now in the machine. He is as much hostage as he is the decider. All around us there are things going on and we attribute the responsibility of them all to the president.
We just came out of an "Undoing Racism" workshop this past week. It was interesting. It was attended by a number of people who were not particulary interested in being there. I think they came well armored and ready to resist the ideas that were put forth by the trainers. Maybe it will bear fruit in the future. Maybe not. But I can tell you that the future awaits each of us pregnant with possibilities.
