Note to a Friend on the Eve of Inauguration

I hope this time of American symbolism of hope rocks your world and lights a fire in your soul. Even though there is much work to be done it is so nice to be able to ride on this crest of truly American joy and goodwill for the most part.

I hope this inauguration inspires you and that you can take a quiet moment to close your eyes and dream a dream that you never think will come true. For that's what's happening tomorrow. Dreams that people dared to dream against all possibility are happening beyond their wildest expectation. The slaves that built the White House can finally rest in peace. For into each piece of wood, each stone hewn for that home they put the dreams of their children, and children's children. That's the kind of belief in hope we have to find in ourselves.It is a good time to love you my friend, for "We are the ones we have watied for."

The love and peace of a thousand dreams to you,

Derrick
