I grew up in California, and I lived most of my adult life there. But I was never proud of being Californian. I didn't have a Californian identity. But Texas is different. I have adopted her as my state, and she has adopted me as her son. I love being "from" Texas.

Those are eloquent and beautiful words. We ought to repeat them every 200 years or so.
