Fire-Keepers

Keep the fires burning. Don’t give up, don’t give in.

I wish we could see her, hear her.

 Sometimes I come across comments on blogs or articles that seem to speak for countless people… words that could be from my own heart and echo what so many PUMA and Hillary Supporters feel and believe.

 From MEli at sodahead.com.

  - I’d give my left arm to sit down and talk with Hillary right now… to know if she honestly has any faith in Obama’s ability to lead without destroying this country…. has this past year broken her? or is she pissed and still willing to fight? is she biding her time? awaiting the right moment to Rise once again? or has she actually felt relief from the assault, relief from the responsibility, relief from the limelight?…. I could understand if she does. I wouldn’t blame her. But I am afraid that the one broken would be me. I do not have the courage, the determination, the qualifications, or the wisdom to fight as she has done…. and if I did, I do not know if I would choose to fight the sexism, the bias, the media, and the stupidity of people in large groups…. the fight she chose. But the fact that she DID chose this fight, and that she did so very well in spite of unprecidented opposition, and fought so HARD…. it stirred in me something I’ve not felt in a very long time, it rekindled in me a feeling and a belief that I had allowed to be stolen from me at a very young age…. the belief that good will triumph, the belief that I could do anything if I worked hard enough, the belief that we do not have to resign ourselves to being broken - to accept the damage inflicted on our souls by this world - in order to survive it.

I wish we could see her. hear her.

Maybe that is too much faith to put into one person, or one cause…. perhaps I am setting myself up for another defeat that I will be forced to accept and deal with…. I know this. But I still cannot yet let go of the hope that she will triumph.
