I am everywhere you look but don't see. I'm the tree trimmer you pass by every day. I'm the one who gives you change when you buy the paper. The guy that approved you for that boat loan last year. I'm all around you but am never noticed. Because of this I see things. I learn things. I gain power from it. The time has come to use that power. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow. But when I do it will go un-noticed until one day things seem to be just a bit better than they were yesterday. A sense of hope seems to be a little closer to your grasp. I am the Hidden American.
