In the name of finding a sense of connection where I ordinarily wouldn't look for one... I just want to write a couple of words about Kevin Rudd on the day he leaves the office of Prime Minister.
I was moved by Kevin Rudd's speech today, and by the quality of his relationship with his wife, and I was glad of the opportunity to reflect on some of the things he achieved while in office.
In particular, the manner in which he apologised to the Stolen Generations should be remembered for a very long time. I believe Kevin Rudd is a genuine, warm person of deep spirituality (wherever you stand on that kind of faith) and I'm sad to see him go. The time surrounding his election was one of hope and excitement, whatever may have followed.
So here's to feeling a connection with your leaders. And sending out vibes of hope and promise (much as that makes me sound like a flake!) surrounding Julia Gillard's prime ministership.
Hooroo.
