Dear July 4th,
I love your metaphysical significance.
As a nation, we celebrate the day we declared independence rather than the day when we actually won it. We held truths to be self-evident on July 4, 1776 but the Treaty of Paris wasn’t signed with England until September 3, 1783.
It’s as if freedom was fulfilled by just putting it in writing and the war was a necessary evil to see it come to fruition. Huge life lesson here about the power of intention.
By the dawn’s early light,
