So you are going to be my guiena pig, okay? I hope you don't mind. See I'm going to get a little crazy right now, and you are invited along for the ride. Buckle your seat belt. Please keep all arms and legs inside the cart at all times. (Yeah right.) Let's go. off.
Where was I? I'm sorry. I had to pop out for a moment and change the music to something a little more writeable. No. That was writeable too, but it just didn't have the same effect. It kept leading me into some movie score that I'm not ready to share just yet. So this is a little lighter.
Ahhh. But you caught me there. Nothing is really much lighter these days. I hate that I'm saying that, "these days". It's so gross. Nevertheless, it's true. We are having these days. But that's okay, because someday, they'll be THOSE days! Thank God when we get there. The grass is always greener.
It could be though. Really. If we all start really loving each other, then we could get somewhere. If we all started loving each other, then the grass could be a lot greener - everywhere! What do we have to do to get everyone to love each other? I know we have it in us! Let's let love out of the closet and spread a little around. Paint the town red with love!
You know what helps me. Every single person I see daily, I imagine their life, what's going on today, where are they going, who is their family, what did they just buy at the supermarket? Are they having a dinner party? What was the whipped cream for? Was she sad? Had something gone wrong? etc.? And suddenly, that blank face that I used to see every day becomes an actual person. Amazingly, I can find myself overcome with emotion for them. So strong, that I find myself wanting to hug a complete stranger.
Some may say that I'm crazy. I say, then let me be crazy. I want this world to be everything we all want it to be. I want this world to be a true democracy where every global citizen has a say in what's going on in the world. It's the only way our planet will survive. And we can get there now! We don't have to wait until aliens come and attack us, and we all join as "humans" to defend the world. NO!!! Let's start loving each other now - because we want to! It's just so much better. It makes me smile. Peace on Earth. Can't it happen?
I don't know what else to say today. I doubt that anyone reads this anyway. I don't know. I still like doing it. It journals my thoughts which toss and turn. And in watching the toss and turn, I can find the place of still waters.
