It's easy to get lost in the life of the everyday. Wake up, get dressed, go to work, come home, take care of the family, go to bed, and repeat. It can feel mundane and unexciting. Even neverending. And then something happens to remind us how extraordinary that everyday can be. How absolutely blessed it is to be able to go through the days, day after day, without interruption to the cycle. No authoritarian dictators making announcements, no gunfire piercing the night, no bombs tearing apart the neighborhood. So in the middle of this everyday world of mine, I want to send a breath of support to those seeking their own piece of liberty: Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Iran, Bahrain, and all the other voices longing to be heard.
I can't help but wonder how Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin, Patrick Henry, and all the other famous American Revolutionaries would view the cries for liberty resounding in the world today.
