Pinch me

O, sweet breath of a changing political season.

For far too long, the social change sector has been in stop-horrible-things-from-happening mode.  This has been the mandate of our collective context and, wow,  it has been exhausting.

While all horrible happenings will not stop overnight (or ever), the shift in our nation’s leadership does allow us to begin advocating for something greater than fundamental human decency and common sense.   What a relief!

Time to step back, look to the horizon, and start pushing an agenda of truly transformational change.  It’s not up to Obama to do this.  He won’t.  He can’t.   He doesn’t even want to.

So let’s celebrate this moment, this transition,  this opening.

And, then, let’s remember what we, too, are here to do.
