Hillary - when you opened your heart at the end of the Austin debate tonight with Senator Obama - you exposed the deeper part of yourself and your feelings - and you won our own hearts. This was the second time you connected to me in the heart - and undoubtedly to millions of other Americans. The first time was in New Hampshire after your Iowa loss.
When you spoke to your empathy for amputee veterans - and when you became magnanimous in your appreciation of Senator Obama - I “saw” who you were in your heart. I saw your essence.
Hillary - do more of that. Do it now. Don’t give up your strong stand on the issues - but if you lead with the heart, and complement with the mind - THAT’S a winning combination. That’s the WHOLE Hillary!
Whether there’s time to regain the momentum in the race by winning Texas and Ohio, we won’t know until the outcome is known in those primaries just ahead.
But one thing I do know - without being the WHOLE you - the campaign is lost. And should you lose by keeping your true voice, you will have won in Spirit by being yourself - and winning the admiration of the entire country.
Speak too about your Dreams. Obama speaks about Hope. You speak about your Dreams - the Dreams you’ve had since you were a young woman…even a girl. Including the Dream for a woman to reach the highest office in the land. Speak about those Dreams and how they led to your fight for Solutions, the word you recently coined.
Your Dreams are larger than yourself - and bring you closer to your Heart - and can open up the Hearts of others.
