Revolution

The new rebellion is not hatred or destruction.

The world around us is littered in these things already,

to fight the fire with a match

is only asking to get burned.

Watch those who try, watch the spark catch and fly down the tiny branch in their hand

until they are seeing their skin singed.

Until they are watching their own clothing burning

and calling it a success.

We will refuse those lies.

We will refuse to be like them.

Rebellion is defiance,

but the best will be in the way

they don't expect, the way they cannot anticipate.

We are expected to divide. We are expected to compete.

We are expected to accept the rules that benefit us

and ignore those they hurt.

But we will not.

The new rebellion is the revolution,

the new thought and love and creation emerging quietly across the globe.

People who see beyond our artificial barriers and boundaries,

who refuse to be anything less than united.

Beyond cities, beyond countries-

this is a world wide shift in consciousness. This is a shift in thought.

You are already breathing it, living it.

Fighting quietly against those who hate and are cruel,

fighting against those who try to say

one human is better than another.

It is in the acceptance,

the unconditional love and support to those around us.

It is in the love to a stranger, the offering to buy a dinner,

the paying of a toll for the person behind you

where it shines.

This magic, this love, this new beginning.

It is our time, it is our revolt.

be brave

I think the most beautiful thing a person can do is live.

Live outrageously, courageously,

with intention.

There is a difference between those who live and those who exist.

There is a difference in their voice, in their step, in their breath.

Most importantly,

there is a difference in their heart.

They say there are two ways to bring brightness into this world: to be the light, but also to be the mirror that reflects it. I don't think the mirror has to be quieter. I don't think the mirror is any less of light.

Have you seen a disco ball?

It takes the light one step further, one step further into beautiful.

"My life is my message" Ghandi said,

and that is the best message I think one can give.

Live as you intend the world to be, live as you wish people to be, live

and they will follow.

And it will be beautiful.

Believe in kissing.

so live!

To live is a challenge, a revolution, a constant reinvention

of yourself.

Do not listen to the idea of evolution,

take your soul and shake it,

in one swift motion

wipe your slate clean.

This is the beginning of something grand,

extraordinary!

Every one of your hopes is alive, is illuminated, is

breathing in time with you.

And you have the control.

This is your world.

You have the control-

to create beauty, life, a world you can love living in.

You are the

change-maker, pace-breaker

leader to those around you.

Be the change you wish to see,

and those around will follow.

nature, nurture

Reach out, reach up. The sky is blue and wide and open,

the clouds are smiling on your soul.

Our souls are free, not meant to be confined

in human made walls and limits!

Open your eyes to your heart,

look at who you are, what you want and where

you stand.

Reach past what you know or can find easily-

embrace the challenge

and then run.

filled with hope, hope filled, hopeful

I wanted to say something to you.

Something like

 "Hello there,

good day isn't it,

beautiful day isn't it,

would you be mine, be mine all the time?"

You are beautiful and wonderful and surprising and new.

And I am hopeful for no reason.

But sometimes that is the best reason.

do good

“ Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."

— Henry David Thoreau
