After the rain
This flower gives me hope. Not because it has rain drops still clinging to it’s petals, signifying it being wiped clean and fresh. It gives me hope because of its color. See, if it were a red flower, I wouldn’t feel hope. Only a yellow flower can bring about the hope that change can bring. Change that I can’t define, but since it is yellow, I think that definition will come with time…..
…..I hope.
Change from red. Red flowers are evil and must be destroyed. Preferably with a steak knife wielded by an orange flower. Orange flowers, which come from a mix of red and yellow, are also good. But only when they want to be. Being yellow is what is most important, because having a yellow flower will make everything all right.
Just focus on the yellow of the flower. Just look at the color. After all, we all know that the color of something is what is important. It doesn’t matter at all what is inside.
**edit to add…..I am so damn proud of our country. I am proud to live in an America that elected a black man into the Office of the President of the USA. I would feel that way if he were of Chinese decent as well. Or of any nationality for that matter. What bothers me is those who voted for this man based on the color of his skin, with ZERO education on his beliefs and background….. and folks there were many many of them….just cruise the internet and you will see.
I also know that there were many who fully educated themselves on both candidates and cast their vote for the man who best reflected many of their political beliefs, and to those of you who did this, I SALUTE YOU! Whether you voted Obama or McCain. You go! I may not agree with you, but I am proud of you.
To those who voted based on skin color, black or white, …..shame on you.
Bravo! I couldn’t have put it better than that.
I totally agree, shame on them if they voted because of the color of his skin and I know you are right about that because I over heard two woman in the grocery store who said they didn’t give a s… what he knew being black was good enough for them. I think that was shallow and sad but it is very true.
My son just turned 18 in July, the thing he was excited about the most was being able to vote in this election, and he went on line and researched everything about both candidates and even asked me if I would be upset if he voted different than me, I told him IF he researched it out and whomever he felt led to vote for was his God given right. I loved that we watched the debates together and had an ongoing dialogue about it, it was special. When we went to vote he felt like a million bucks and we went out to eat and talked about it all through dinner, it was so great!
And you know it isn’t a surprise to God who is in the posistion and it is up to us to support and pray for the one who is there whether we like it or not, that is also our God given right.
Great post Jody and I loved what you wrote about the yellow flower, I feel the same way, I find hope in the yellow flower and I do not like red’s either!!
I think it’s well past time for a black man in the white house. I just wish it wasn’t THAT man.
Condi/Palin 2012, anyone?
Oh, yeah – and I eat flowers. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
LOL! I agree 100%
OMG if Condi/Palin ran, I would be so jazzed. That would be a ticket that
would have me working in the RNC.
The whole “Yes we can” reminds me of Bob the Builder.
i know i’m late on commenting – but what a great post. i had someone accuse me of supporting obama just because i was being politically correct and he was black. so then i ripped his face off.
