imagine
Imagine what it would be like to be someone who was told you could not go to a school because your skin was black. Imagine having to use a separate bathroom or not being able to eat in any restaurant you desired. Imagine knowing someone who had been lynched and burned and tortured. Imagine having a family history of slavery. Imagine hoping and wishing and praying that one day it would be different. Imagine being that person yesterday casting a vote, praying it will matter, and then seeing the results. I think the outcome of the American Presidential race means that there is hope that things can change beyond our wildest dreams.

i can't imagine... and i am in awe that i have witnessed the seemingly impossible happen to our neighbours to the south. And i am daring to hope that change beyond imagination can happen.
