This is the Daily Note.

I'm James A.

Brown.

We talk about America like it's just an idea.

It's not.

It's people, too.

It's the nurse driving home at dawn.

It's the teacher grading papers on her couch.

It's the farmer fixing his tractor before the rain hits.

Ideas don't shovel driveways or serve pancakes at 6am People do.

The story of this country was never written in marble or in slogans.

It's written in routines, the ordinary ones that keep the light on for the rest of us.

We forget that sometimes.

We talk about the economy like it's a machine, but it's really millions of hands doing the work that matters.

I think America has forgotten that we're not just an abstraction, we're an us.

So what do you think?

Let me know on jamesabrown.net on that note.

I'm James A.

Brown, and as always, be well.
