reenkaThis land is my land. And it is yours. And it is ours.
The important thing is to believe that when it's most difficult, and when people try to make you feel like you're a stranger where you are-- that's when you say, I live here with you.
Take it as you will, but today I woke up and thought, I love this country. Not just the people I agree with-- or the states I wouldn't mind living in-- the point is, I love this land and its people especially when they're torn apart and distrustful of each other and lost. Because home is not where it's cozy or warm or safe-- home is where the heart is, and this is my heart, even if it hurts. Especially when it hurts.
It is hard to say it today, but that's why I'm saying it.
It's not that I don't care who's in office, because I did feel kind of sick-- but mostly numb. I've been so numb for so long. But I know this much-- this is never going to be over until we do stand together, for real. For real.
So. This land is my land, and here I make my stand. I live here with you, fellow Americans. I live here with you. Please don't leave. We all need each other, as hokey as that sounds. We do.
