it takes a lot to face the reality we’re creating for ourselves. we ultimately own our lives and can change ourselves and the face of our society, because we are ourselves and we are society. reality is only chaos and what does chaos represent if nothing other than opportunity?
we find ourselves amidst the rubble of our disfigured devotion to fitting in. what’s in our control? our honesty to ourselves may alienate us sometimes, but it has saved us too many times to just walk away now. it brings us happiness - profound happiness.
it’s all related to the privilege war going on, and we are playing a role. most are suffering - profoundly suffering. . . our toys are tools for positive change if we make them such. . . our diamond studded toys can be tools as well as pacifiers. . . we must prevent our tools from becoming opiates. they reflect our nature, but we decide what we are, ultimately. we must prevent our tools from defining our NOW. discipline is a means to an end - never an end in and of itself. let’s just promise that we’ll be honest with ourselves.

it’s no mystery. this small gesture is just trying to be realistic about the distance that really exists between each other and, relatively, those who don’t even count as ’others’.
sincere gestures can be sacred in the same way eating, pooping or finding an accurate map is sacred.
we bet our lives on a change that we hope is happening. but our lives aren’t better left to chance. with so much to explore and our world growing smaller and smaller and smaller it’s no wonder that the stakes are so high. with so many different ways of life being brought to our attention, of course we use that information to discover new ways to heal ourselves and our world.
if we don’t do what seems like the impossible, we shall be faced with the unthinkable. . .
