"The times they are a-changin'"
Bob Dylan
Over my fall break, I got to go to Bretagne (as you know) and stay with my host mom's brother's family. I received a mail from Patrice (my host mom's brother) after Obama won...
Yes ! You can !
From France, the beautiful Obama victory is the victory of all americans (and maybe of all democrats in the world) who do not identify with the 8 years that just passed ...
What a wonderful event which carries in a moment millions of people around the world since the camp of those who couldn't stand anymore this America to the camp of those who want to dream with her...
I have a dream [a hope...] today!
Patrice (from Britany the little !)
Yes ! You can !
Depuis la France, la belle victoire d'Obama est celle de tous les américains (et peut-être de tous les démocrates dans le monde) qui ne se reconnaissent pas dans les 8 années qui viennent de s'écouler...
Quel formidable événement que celui qui transporte en un instant des millions de personnes dans le monde depuis le camp de ceux qui ne pouvais plus supporter cette Amérique là dans le camp de ceux qui veulent rêver avec elle ...
J'ai fait un rêve [j'ai un espoir ...] aujourd'hui !
Patrice de Bretagne
Thank you, Patrice!!!

Maggie, please tell Patrice that we Americans share the hope of the world. The Rotary 4 way test:
Is it the Truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
If we could all answer these questions prior to making decisions, we may truly reach world peace. Peace to all you meet today and every day.
Love,
Mom
What a great post! Maggie, I also received some congratulations from some folks that I worked with in Scotland. Yes, we can.
