I was recently visiting Yellowstone Nat'l Park while it was being ravaged by several forest fires. The fires were managed but were not put out because burned landscape is necessary for the land to renew itself.
It dawned on me today that perhaps that is what this election cycle is doing for our country. The garbage that has caught fire and is filling our news and our collective consciousness might just possibly burn away the trivialities that have clouded our vision of what America should be and what our forefathers dreamt it could be. Perhaps we have hit rock bottom. The forests have been cleared by a hot distructive discord. And while it has been painful to watch, maybe now we can plant the seeds for a future that will flourish because what we are has been laid bare and we can no longer hide the evil that has been growing in our midst.
i am not talking Republican vs. Democrat nor Liberal vs. Conservative. I am talking about the country coming together to stand up against the racist, misogynistic, sexist underbelly in our country and becoming unified in our belief that all men and women ARE created equal. And we will no longer put up with anything else from our leaders, our officials, our neighbors or our families. Maybe this election has done us a huge favor and like Yellowstone we can become renewed.
