OK, the election is over and now begins the transition from raw emotions and visceral energy to cabinet building and gritty leadership. I can already feel Obama’s grass-roots persona fade into the closed-door ultra-elite presidential aura of the White House. Yeah, I do miss those inspiring campaign speeches and daily emails asking me to donate to the movement.
Where does this transition leave us, the people who supported him and believed in this spectacular vision of America? Are we to feel shut out once again from government? I trust the people and the situation and say the answer is no. Once we rollover next January, I’m sure the enthusiasm will spike again and we can really embark on our new American journey.
But that’s not enough for me. To merely sit here at my desk day in and day out and not take my own leadership to new heights simply won’t do. I want to be involved. I need to serve a greater purpose in this big picture. I didn’t just support this campaign to get a great man elected and then sit back as he takes over. I’m know this is not how it’s intended to be.
So, I will keep writing and working and dreaming and learning and hoping and aspiring until I can make a magnitude of difference in this country. Let us all do our part starting now. Aloha.
