True courage is not acting without fear, but acting despite fear.

Hillary is an incredibly couragous person.

Thank so much for posting that video.

The poem with which she closed, in part-

We have no need of false revolutions
In a world where categories tend to tyrannize our minds
And hang our wills up on narrow pegs.
It is well at every given moment to seek the limits in our lives.
And once those limits are understood
To understand that limitations no longer exist.
Earth could be fair. And you and I must be free
Not to save the world in a glorious crusade
Not to kill ourselves with a nameless gnawing pain
But to practice with all the skill of our being
The art of making possible.

Thanks.

sidestepping the myriad barriers placed in her path, belying accusations of "displaced ambition".

She will be an admirable President.

Thank you for finding and sharing, Sparkly.
