The voyage of the Pinta?

Interesting how I am finishing up a glass piece for a man who needed some glass to show through this cast iron image of - one of the ships that found it's way to the Americas - for a nitelight. . . just as America is about to embark on a voyage of it's own to forge a new path.

We can leave the ship of fools behind and start forth with a leader who is not only "Joe-cool" but who has the INTELLIGENCE to lead us in a sane direction.  This is not just a good day for African American's, it's a great day for the entire world! We have ALL been holding our breath not wanting to "jinks" this transition of getting G.W. Bush OUT OF THAT SEAT in Washington. It's been REAL George, but no one is saying that it's been REAL NICE to have you sitting in the seat of power, and no I don't and never did - "want to have a beer with you."

Fear is what got us into this mess, and what has perpetuated the situation to fester and blister until finally, even the most fearful among us is finally realizing that "this isn't working."  This is not about "gloating" - this is about bringing the ship back rightside up and evening out the balast so we now can sail straight into what ever storm or clear skys are ahead.  There was just no arguing with, or explaining that could be done to get through to some people - so the fear mongers being lead by the nose by the types who only wanted to fill their pockets because of THEIR fear of never having enough wealth to make them happy or to feel secure - now that the ship has capsized and has thrown off many of the folks who just couldn't make their view work, nor hang on any longer. . .now many of them are in the drink. . .and a new crew has come on board.  Many many people are hurting right now, and to those who helped create this situation, I show no sympathy - I only feel like it is about time that you are blessed with the lessons that you so strongly demanded that you get.  

It is definately a NEW ERA. I just got word about some people who caused others some terrible life altering grief in the past 5 to 10 years, and as of recently, THEIR luck has finally turned and they are not doing well, in fact they are suffering. It occurs to me that when people do bad things to other people, when the tide turns, I can only feel a bit of satisfaction for justice prevailing. I am soooo ready for America to reach out to the rest of the world with a leader that can be believed. With a leader that can have a sane plan of action.

This is not to say that it is going to be easy. The last crew on the ship did some major damage, engaged us in some horrible wars, and ruined a lot of good will that America used to have. We have broken masts, sails that need repair, and holes in our bulkheads . . . but American's don't run from a challenge, we only need to be told what to do and how to do it. Now we have a leader that we can get behind, now we have a leader that we can feel good about.  Sorry George, you had your shot and you just didn't know what to do once you got there. Filling your and all of your friend's pockets is not a way to build a strong country. You may believe that you will be taken up in the Rapture so it doesn't matter what you do or did to the planet, or to the masses. . .but what if we change dimensions and those "chosen" to move forth along the evolutionary path are those who helped their fellow man, those who did positive things while being selfless, the meek - so to speak . . . when Mother Earth decides to make the shift that I think is coming in 2012 . . . I can imagine those who will make the change, and those who will be left behind as the ship sails into the sunset.

Our newly outfitted ship is going to sail BACK to Europe with a whole new perspective and a whole new outlook for the world.  I'm excited to see what will transpire in the months and years to come!
