The Dance

I don't know how many of you saw "The Dance" last night at the Inaugural Neighborhood Ball, but it was one of the sweetest moments of a very sweet day. It was a good indicator of what kind of a man we have as President now. If you didn't see it, President Obama and First Lady, Michelle, danced to Beyonce's wonderful version of "At Last" from her movie, Cadillac Records. She was hard pressed to keep from crying during the song. A lot of that had to do with the look of utter happiness and love on the faces of the two dancers. They're warm, loving, real. 

We cannot know how our country will fare under this new leader by the experience of one day or one dance, but after seeing the love returned to this brilliant, articulate and genuinely loving man, I really do have that previously elusive feeling of Hope.
