Dear Mr. President:

Thank you.

Your heart talk today was a wind of courage and truth that will fan the flames of other hearts and ignite those smoldering sparks of longing and hope in untold legions of our brothers and sisters into a new blaze.

So thank you.

For me it was a refreshing clarion call to action. It is self evident that we are created equal. However, as you clearly pointed out, manifesting that equality in systems, and programs is totally our responsibility. You moved this image of Truth, which we call an idea, this fount of incredible power, from idealistic language into the forefront of the people's hearts and minds and the practical, actionable, reality of everyday living.  We are not done yet!

You clearly lighted the Path forward: from the comfort of the few to the necessities of Life for WE THE PEOPLE. Through eliminating our enemies by making friends of them rather than going to war with them. For in the last analysis there is only One Humanity, and we all need each other to be complete.

The Path ahead, as are all paths that are truly ahead, will be challenging, hard, and with plenty of struggling, but it will be a joyful challenge because we will triumph. It will be bridging into a New World, a One World for the One Humanity where boundaries are simply lines on maps that indicate the incredible diversity and beauty of Humanity rather than separating walls.

As one man, one brother to another, I want to thank you for stepping up for us. You said that this was our time, and I deeply resonate with that truth. It is also your time, and I want to thank you for grasping it so beautifully, so powerfully. I also want to thank US for having the wits and courage to recognize you and to elect you to lead in this most incredible time of opportunity.

Loving Us
