Bethann Hardison Instagram – January 10, 2016 was the passing of our dear David Bowie. Still a hard pill to swallow, for me, the family, friends and fans worldwide. But today I think of him on the memorial of his death and days before. Because we would have been in deep conversation about politics and surely about the Georgia Senate upset.
I had place my money on “horses” that needed to win and supported the energy of those who were going to turn the wheels of time, Stacy Abrams and those like her doing all it would take to win, getting those to the polls one way or another. I had faith it could happen, confident about Rev Raphael Warnock but saw a dim tunnel for the young Jon Ossoff. Nonetheless I put my money where my doubt was and prayed that this spirited young man of 33 years could beat his opponent. I was impressed with him. A dear friend questioned the party’s selection because he was Jewish. Old thinking I thought, as I continued to pray because he was “my horse”. Surely I had doubts until he was behind 919 votes. I went to sleep with hopes that like “Seabiscuit” he would come from the rear. I woke to him doing just that but too soon to call. That’s all I needed.
The second youngest Senator ever in the history of the USA. Joe Biden being the youngest at 30 yrs old.
Finally the Senate had a shift in power. In my mind, my few dollars and my eye on the prize of Jon Ossoff did it’s do. It may be a spiritual way of thinking, but with a few bucks for each candidate and the wind to the back of Ms Abrams and the crews, thats all I had.
Since then and thereafter it would have been fun to hear David as he watched “those” scale the walls of the Capitol.
I could only imagine what his take would have been on all.
Congratulations Georgia ! And with you David always on my mind.
