something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.” – Joseph Addison
We all have something to do but is it what we truly want or need? Love? This can be subjective for many and often twisted by misrepresented expectations. Hope? I think that thanks to our “leaders” and the lucrative business of reporting tragedy most might have locked that one in with the “magic” or “miracle” pile? What sense would the words of a poet make to a mechanically induced factory worker? What hope lies beyond the machine?
Sometimes it feels as if as a collective we have consumed large quantities of doubt and fear. We feed it to eachother everyday. Many have fed from this carcass, the bitter flesh that poisons our silent peace and knowingness and have lost our appreciation of fresh flavors.
How many times have you taken someone’s dreams and tarnished it with your lack of courage, your lack of faith in yourself, your lack of will? Don’t you remember how it felt to pick someone up and help them succeed? How good did that feel or did your emptiness fill you with envy?
It is vital to respect yourself and defy anyone who would put their fear into you; these talons of control, of weakness.
We must prove to them and to ourselves that something greater awaits us! That a world where dreamers help create a dream worth living awaits us all with open arms.
Love and Peace
