  1. It’s going to take me a bit to recover from being GOBSMACKED by the overwhelming talent of Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman in her rendition (it wasn’t just a reading) of her poem “The Hill We Climb”!

    Wow … just WOW!

    • You are absolutely right.  It was way more than a reading.  I want to say it was choreographed.  I guess this is where poetry slams have brought us … and it is wonderful!

    • My impression was that it was choreographed with sign-language or at least hits of it. Could that be true?

  2. Thanks, Joanne. Watching most of it took so much time, there was none left for commenting. But then most didn’t need any comment, did they? 😉

  3. You outdid yourself. Such a marvelous, spirit lifting post. TY! 
    How absolutely refreshing to watch these, PTL. 
    Yes, the officer signed ASL too.
    Ms. Gorman stood out from the crowd, by reading her poem. One for the ages! 
    Thank you, Joanne.

  4. Thanks, JD! 46

    LP – Amen

    Amanda – is she amazing or what?

    DMI – I used to sing that one in the ’60s!

    JP – Isn’t it wonderful to see authentic faith in action?

    RMM – Bingo!

    FS – love it but it should have happened.

    Kimmel – If I had another leg, I’d Join the dance.

    Beau – Amen

    DD – Hee Haw Hallelujah!

    • I used to sing “Lift Every Voice” but not until the sixties.    (I assume you know it is nicknamed “The Black National Anthem, but maybe not everyone does.)  Did you notice Ayanna presslet was there> This was part of an hour long program honoring Martin, which was followed by an hour and a half long  discussion

  5. LP: On the way.  We still need to be rid of Rupert Murdoch, and his continually BSing outlets.  The WSJ was full of propaganda just the other day!
    Ms. Gorman was absolutely WONDERFUL!
    Overcoming: still a struggle!
    JP: As per the title of my current read:”Yes to Life, In spite of it All,” by Viktor Frankl.
    PP: “Can’t learn his lesson, ever!”
    FS: Too late, too much of a worm, Mr Pence is.
    JK: Seen it, Love it, and Love it again!
    Beau: I had no doubt, well, a bit, not about the transfer, but about what crap might try to get in the way, causing more chaos.  Hopefully, more people will become politically engaged by the unbigoted.  
    DD-Well done!
