All About the Love Again
By Cornelia Powell | January 23, 2009
The poet asked, “what if the mightiest word is love?”. The song writer sang, “all about the love again.”
And that’s what it felt like—this day marking a new shift in consciousness—as I watched the activities this week surrounding President Obama’s inauguration throughout the day and evening. I felt it, I saw it on the faces of people there, I heard their words declare it. Not about politics; about relationship.
“Love that casts a widening pool of light,” continued Elizabeth Alexander, the poet chosen to read her original work for the president’s inauguration. Bold, patient, courageous, abundant, in service, inclusive, unconditional—the only way real love can be.
At the Neighborhood Inauguration Ball that evening, Stevie Wonder debuted a new song for a soundtrack dedicated to the Obamas, “All About the Love Again,” and it didn’t sound corny when he sang, just genuine.
Love, indeed, is the mightiest word! And just as Stevie sang: “sounds good to me”!
