Rise Up

As usual, we stayed on the fringes of things today. I watched people's fireworks from the comfort of the living room and did my best to console the cats. We had soup for dinner. We took out the trash. In many ways, it was any other Wednesday.

I did post the article about Lola on my Facebook page and talked about how important freedom is. Freedom to have dignity. Freedom to have safety. Freedom to walk your own paths and plant your own gardens.

I'll leave the 4th with this quote from Hamilton, some of the last words Alexander says before he dies.

America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me
You let me make a difference
A place where even orphan immigrants
Can leave their fingerprints and rise up
