Darkness falls early on this the eve of yet another contentious election in America…
The clouds loom heavy as the cold breeze whispers foreboding of a potentially ominous outcome…
Yet there are patches of pristine bright blue sky that echo the hope that remains in my heart…
My mind races with the kind of clarity that comes from a recent cleansing rain…
My insides churn and I shiver from the cold and brutal ugliness being screamed from pulpits and broadcast daily from media masquerading as news
This could be a beginning, or an end, or the beginning of the end of life as we have known it.
The rustling has quieted… the stillness and silence is deafening.
This night will be long…
The days ahead perilous…
Democracy is fragile we must vote like our lives depend on protecting it because they do.

You can share it far and wide by just copying and pasting the web address or clicking one of the share buttons. I know you guys are fighting hard in Arizona. I saw the footage of armed people at the ballot drop box. The voter intimidation is insane there. My heart goes out to you.
