Amanda Gorman

The Hill We Climb, Amanda Gorma's brilliant poem and presentation was the highlight of the Biden/Harris inauguration, at least for me. And, yes, Biden's and Harris' speeches were perfectly suited to the gravity and and hopefulness of the situation.

And all this happening at the Capital building where, only days before, a radical right-wing mob, activated during the last four years when Republicans controlled all three houses of government, was climbing the Capital walls in an attempt to take over America and replace it with their version of fascism.

She was so awesome.

I mean, imagine: a Lady Gaga concert with poetry AND an inauguration!

I'm kidding.

It is hopeful. It was very emotional watching this young woman, imagining the horrible country that we might have become where her voice might never be heard.

My thoughts as well. It is hopeful and I am so very grateful for that.
