We are living in an era of great change, great turmoil, great opportunity and great hope.
Regardless of political opinion, Barack Obama’s conclusive victory yesterday symbolizes the transformational climate around us.
As Bob Dylan said a very long time ago, ‘the times they are a changin’’!
It’s natural that change is very often accompanied by an element of fear. As the whole world ventures into economic, social, political and environmental uncharted waters, fear is a very healthy emotion to be feeling; as long as fear of the unknown is never used as an excuse for not moving forward!
It’s a cliché, but it’s true; we are standing on the brink of something amazing.
All we need now is strong and courageous leadership.
While we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can.
Barack Obama
President-Elect of the United States of America
