Change Has Come

Tomorrow marks the beginning of my Grand Mexican Adventure. I couldn’t leave without a small goodbye book tip, though, so here you go:

CHANGE HAS COME, An Artist Celebrates Our American Spirit
The drawings of Kadir Nelson
With the words of Barack Obama

Kadir Nelson’s pen and ink drawings are paired with lines from various speeches Barack Obama gave during the recent Presidential campaign. The combination is a stirring reminder of the Obama message, and it was a perfect book for this somewhat overwhelming week. (Overwhelming personally, as I prepare for my trip, and overwhelming generally, as our new administration begins the difficult work of moving the country forward.)

Treat yourself to a nice cup of tea and a look at CHANGE HAS COME this week; think of me when you do. I’ll see you all in about a week…
