So:

Please take a moment of silence before you
lay down for the long road of dreams this evening.
And breathe like my mother said,
deep into the caverns of your being.
And if inside you find a valid reason for being alive,
then concentrate your energy every day
on making that flame a fire.
Or snuff the candle out;
this world is full of fear and doubt,
and I've see too many dreamers die without trying.
And I will not be one of them,
and neither will you, just take my hand,
we are all on the long and crater ridden
hike to the promise land.

than I am for growing old.

I'd like to meet:

People who are passionate about anything
other than being straightedge or their drug use.
I'd love to meet people who paint, sing,
act, dance, draw stick figures, or do anything else they love.
People who aren't afraid to get out and live their lives,
who see beyond their computer screen, who,
even if they are not prepared for the world,
go out try to figure it out anyway, piece by piece.

"You can build a wall to stop people,
But eventually, the music, it'll cross that wall,
That's the beautiful thing about music,
There's no defense against it. - Keith Richards
