i don't know what to tell you really. i'm perplexed. i'm at a loss for what to do. i went to a speakout for peace tonight only to discover that no one had shown up yet. by 7:30 p.m. (it was supposed to start at 7:00 p.m.) i gave up and came home. it IS possible that those 7 people in a circle shooting shit WERE the peace speakout; however, i was uninspired by their cliche. that's awful, huh?
and the war wages on
work is good actually. i'm finding myself keeping really busy doing my job so as to not have time to ponder what's going on in the world. now that's one way to get increased work performance out of an employee. at any rate, it's going well, and i'm really getting the hang of it, which is exciting. of course, i still find time to worry.
and the war wages on
oh my. my love life? well that's non-existent at the moment. i don't know, i just can't seem to go out looking anymore. if it's going to happen, then it's going to happen to me, because, right now, i'm far from searching.
and yet this damn war wages on, and i don't know how to stop it, and i don't guess i can, so i'm going to have to continue pushing for its end to be sooner rather than later. very soon. we need peace guys. we need to start loving one another.
i'm going to make a bold leap here and encourage each one of you to really start loving each other out there. it seems hard at first. talking to a stranger. smiling at the lady with the baby. but once i did it, it was a breeze. days filled with love my friend. some days will be better than others, that goes without saying, but when they're lived through to the end with love, well, those days are the best. How'd you like the rest of your days to be the best? They can be. All you have to do is be in love with every human being on the earth. Feel every pain, happiness, hunger, generosity. Look around you. Look at the people you work with, go out with in the evening, see on the street, in a bus, on the subway, in a passing car, look at them and know that they ARE somebody going somewhere doing something with their lives. And, damnit, love them for living this rough life just like you are. If I sound preachy or naive, then let me. Just think about it.
It's sounds cliche, but love IS the key. Let your heart be heard. Bring it into conciousness. It's telling you something. It's screaming to your rational brain. It's saying something. so listen. just stop, and listen.
by the way, let me know what you hear.
