Sending love today
to those
of all races and traditions
who celebrate
our first official
national demarcation of the day
that 'peculiar institution' -
that most soul-consuming, damning
of original sins
died.
So much work lay ahead;
a holiday is but a way-point,
not the goal.
But we stop at that way-point
and honor the work,
the challenges.
the sacrifices to get there,
and from there to here,
and prepare for the challenges that lay ahead
as far ahead as the eye can see.
It's been a long time coming ...
Wishing all a beautiful, thoughtful
Juneteenth.
