In Bhutan, a new, and very young, King has been crowned. Click on the picture to read about the ceremony and the Constitutional Monarchy. I know nothing about Bhutan, to speak of. What I am intrigued by is reading that the State offers free education and health care to all it's citizens.
Hummm...seems like they are living a tradition older than known time. In the tradition of the true purpose of a KING - I believe it was always intended that the monarch's first duty is to protect and care for his/her people. I am assuming they do this with freedom and integrity and equality in Bhutan (might be a big leap of faith) and if I'm off - at least I have a dream I can hold up. A dream I believe the United States is very close to achieving.
Again, I see Obama's election as not a big deal as the first Black President. I see it as a very big deal because I believe we will see radical change. I believe he will keep and exceed a lot of his promises of change - and as our "monarch" the politicians will follow him. Yes, there will be debate as there should be but in the end he will guide us through a process of unification, a process of oneness.
Will you join me in dreaming and believing this and more is possible?

A Young King - in another land
