Holding the baby I wonder what voices will he hear when he looks at California fifty years from now from these hills in this affluent house over looking Catalina island far out at sea on a clear balmy night at a pleasant Christmas party for family and friends?

Like those present will he hear the conservative voice of the Bush family of Texas or will he hear the whispers of  non citizens debating the American dream?

Will the beautiful dark eyed Hispanic baby I hold looking with me into the seas at night hear Spanish accents from a voice 300 years old to back when his ancestors controlled this area? Or, will the boy hear Native Americans struggling to paddle their small carved wooden canoe laden with fish to shore across rough seas after two days of harsh fishing 500 years ago.

California it's a beautiful tempting place to be. The past is gone California; you reap the harvest and gather the dividends from voices of unknown citizens of your home territory who lived and struggled here hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

Thanks for sharing your bounty California of today.

California so much affluence so little wealth of spirit. I e-spy you California from the affluent hills over looking Catalina island.
