This Tuesday morning I heard a speech on TV, delivered in Philadelphia by Barack Obama. It is a speech for the ages! It literally flowed from the heart with a depth of understanding of, and compassion for, the sorrows of a nation which could do so much better! Obama’s hope for our future was breathed in by an audience that sat enraptured with his very positive notion that we citizens can work together and improve our enjoyment of this life!

I hope the local book store will call me when they have a copy of this speech, suitably hardbound, for sale!
