9. Pure joy on those faces! Such a rare sight in our political life!

May 2016

I'm particularly struck by Bernie's face and the great joy and energy of his whole demeanor. The woman he is greeting, or who is greeting him, also has remarkable joy in her face and posture, and all the others look very happy--except for the guy with the badge on--probably a bodyguard or Secret Service--who looks watchful. Everybody else is having a ball!

I've lost count of the number of rallies Bernie has traveled to and spoken to, over this weekend, all over California, plus media interviews and appearances, and attendance at the Memorial Day event at the Presidio! And look at him! My God, the man is blest with the most astounding commitment and good spirits!

"Let's turn this thing around!"

Yes! YES!! Let's turn this country around! Let's turn this democracy around! Let's turn global warming around! Let's become the country and the democracy and the people we dream of in our highest thoughts! Let's BE the people that Bernie Sanders believes in! Let's BE the country he believes in! Let's BE the democracy he believes in! Because look at that man!
