How One is this World

I
stared
at
Lake
Superior.
It's
vastness
overwhelming.
I
had
spent
the
weekend
skiing
Mount
Lutson.
"The
highest
place
in
the
upper
Midwest."
In
the
background
of
food
and
drinks
and
laughter,
lots
of
laughter.
We
kept
hearing
Barack
Obama
and
all
of
us
felt
this
sense
of,
well,
you
know,
we've
heard
it
and
now
we
truly
do
feel
it,
change.
What
an
exciting
time
it
is
to
be
alive.
Knowing
that
as
small
as
Lake
Superior
made
me
feel
that,
now,
my
voice
that
had
felt
muted
these
past
eight
years,
my
ideals
questioned,
my
oneness
seen
as
other
are
all
now
lifting.
