Here on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and on the eve of the inauguration, I see this week as a mark that future generations might look back to and describe as the start of a profound shift in human consciousness. I suppose I could be considered a philisophical taoist, and in President Obama I see the possibility of the embodiment of verse 17…in part…
The great leader speaks little,
He never speaks carelessly,
He works without self-interest
and leaves no trace.
When all is finished, the people say,
“We did it ourselves”.
