toward restoration

When you were a kid, did you wish upon stars?

I don't remember doing it much then, but the concept has somehow had more appeal as I've gotten older.

And just now, coming home from a
Sweet Honey in the Rock concert, getting into a good meaty discussion in the car on the way back, getting ready to set my clock back for an extra hour of sleep before canvassing in New Hampshire all day tomorrow, I looked up for a long time at the blanket of stars with the Milky Way streaking across it.

And I'm not gonna lie, I made more than my fair share of wishes. But hey, there are a hell of a lot of stars out there tonight, and there are just so darn many things I'm hopeful for.
