Great JOB, hermano. And POWERFUL CLOSING COMMENT. MEGA-KUDOS.
You need to do this more often.
There’s a soft breeze outside, and the palm fronds are singing their unique, timeless song; it’s a beautiful night in the Tropics, and the Banana Republic is waking up to embrace the music of the night. Somewhere, somewhere out there, I can hear a lone guitar; maybe a neighbor playing under the moonlight, maybe the sound of a Gypsy Kings recording drifting through a window, open to the passion that nights like this bring with them.
This is farewell, for now. May we be free to argue, fight, and bicker for all eternity, and the time beyond that, and may we do it in the name of what is best for this Republic.
May this chaos, this garbled mess made up of yours and mine, theirs and everyone’s passions, give birth to a stronger, more vibrant Union, and may she stand sovereign, under God and indivisible, for ever more.
