Like millions of others, I got up bright and early to watch the royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world….and I’m glad I didn’t.
Yes, I know. It was just a wedding, even if it was a royal one. And yes, many people think royalty is a useless anachronism, and a ridiculous distraction from the real problems we face-and making a 'big deal' whenever royalty gets married seems a little ridiculous. However, this was more than a just a royal wedding. It was an inspiration. |
It reminds us that we can come together and celebrate our differences, do better and be better. It reminds us that, even though we’ve taken one giant step back, our next move can be two giant steps forward.
So, once again, it may have been just a wedding joining two very privileged people whom we don’t even know. But those two people sent the world a message – and a very intentional one – that we should take to our hearts. |
