I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG AND TO THE NATION FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE,
WITH LIBERTY, JUSTICE FOR ALL.

I remember reciting this every day as a kid - we stood up, faced the flag, said the pledge and got on with our day.

Now here’s the clincher - in knitting this up, I had a ‘knitting’ Freudian Slip - I left out ‘INDIVISIBLE’ - yup - even though I had already graphed it and was ready to go. Stun me when I realized - perhaps it was in the fury of the election. I don’t know - but I it was completely inadvertent.
I have great hopes for the future.
