It is always fun to find that a good friend thinks and feels about something the same way you do. Today at lunch my friend and I ended up talking about the synergy that brought the writers of the Declaration of Independence together in that moment, at that time to create a new country.
I have spoken here before about being "such an American" - and to discover that my friend feels the same way about patriotism and the vision of our founders.
We didn't say anything new - and it was the first time we had ever had this conversation. We define patriotism the same way: the ability to challenge, criticize as well as praise and agree. We recognize the founders' vision And the ways in which the country has veered from that And the ways in which it has gotten better and better.
It was a fun energetic conversation and it delighted both of us. And she has never seen the musical "1776" so I am loaning that to her next week. Fun! ~ blessings
