9. I feel so honored, H2O Man, to be referenced in such a beautiful post.

At the same time, I'm afraid I cannot take credit for the eloquent words you have quoted. They were spoken by a vibrant and beautiful young lady at a Colorado caucus site. I only posted them.

In the comment section of my post, someone said that she was quoting Robert Reich. I looked it up and found that she had actually paraphrased him. Reich's original quote was:

"I’ve known Hillary Clinton since she was 19 years old, and have nothing but respect for her. In my view, she’s the most qualified candidate for president of the political system we now have.

But Bernie Sanders is the most qualified candidate to create the political system we should have, because he’s leading a political movement for change." http://robertreich.org/post/138036377515

Now that I have settled my conscience, I want to comment on YOUR post. As is so often the case with your writing, you have brought past and present, the natural world and the unnatural, the living and the forgotten all together in a story. These elements are intertwined as you take us on a journey through your writing.

And in the end, you bring it all home.

I believe this - even if Bernie doesn't win the primary (and I think he still can), the impact he is having on the young people of this country is so powerful. They will honor him.

We are on a journey.
