The move has cut into my time for all other endeavors, thus my trickle of output has slowed even further. On top of that, I missed the opportunity to comment on my favorite holiday!
I love July 4th. I love it because I love the words (and I'm not alone).
I always take the time to read the Declaration out loud, declaiming every rolling phrase and candid reason, turning them over in my mind as I shape them with my tongue. A wonderful thing sprang forth from Congress nearly full-grown that day in 1776, a concept about people and their choices and hearing their voices. But liberty was not yet fully-grown then and she is not yet fully-grown now. And so, on the 4th, I also remember and take to heart the great words of Abraham Lincoln:
" It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. "
