early morning voter anxiety.

I just wanted a post for this day, Nov. 4th, 2008.

I just wanted to archive it, that at 1:20am, this is what I wrote and at this moment I/we/they have no idea who will be the next president.

but, I/we/they do know that there is a definite sea change regardless of who gets this. So at 1:23am, I'm just waiting to see where my vote took me, where yours took me, where we collectively chose to go with each other. I have to admit, this anxiety brings me back to a faith that I could have sworn I lost in my short voting record, it's definitely reminding me that people are the source. Icons, heroes, leaders are all but nothing without the power of the people they hope to inspire.

Please, whoever you are by the end of election day, I just hope you remember that you are nothing but a vessel without us. To run for this office means you will do right by those that allowed you to even dream of leading it.
