Almost completely proud of America.....

Well, yes, there's still one issue heavy on my heart - the California repeal of gay marriage. A HUGE step backwards on a day of so much forward motion. I will not pontificate, I think Hafiz sums it up for me:

How Does It Feel to Be a Heart? (Hafiz)

Once a young woman asked me,
"How does it feel to be a man?"And I replied,
"My dear,I am not so sure."
Then she said,"Well, aren't you a man?"
And this time I replied,
"I view gender
As a beautiful animal
That people often take for a walk on a leash
And might enter in some odd contest
To try to win strange prizes.
My dear,
A better question for Hafiz
Would have been,
'How does it feel to be a heart?'
For all I know is Love,
And I find my heart Infinite
And Everywhere!"
