I’ve begun praying about the elections. It’s never
too early for me. I have no idea how to choose what is best for our
country—liberals or conservatives. The news isn't any help. It’s so noisy. Their
arguments don’t help me to know the candidates beyond what promises I hear from
them--promises that they most likely can’t keep. What choice do I have? The
liberals will try to correct their false idealism and the conservatives will
ignore the cry of the poor. Which candidate offers our country a promise of
transformation? I don’t recognize any Lincolns in the crowd. I hate to rationalize. Maybe I won’t vote.
What would Maria expect of our young people, now adults, coming of
an age to vote? Will their new freedom be exploited by the current morality; or
will they have the peace of mind to bring a new sense of democracy to the table? Will they
have the courage to work through their visions and know how to collaborate with
the remnant of the learned? Will they know how to vote? Will they vote?
