I have a dream.

I have a dream that we will form a new world.
I have a dream that the miracles of life and death
will be honored with feasting and parties.

I have a dream that every person stands for something, anything
and strives to improve the world.
Every person holds their personal beliefs in the highest regard
and self doubt no longer exists.

I have a dream where governments, even world governments, are unnecessary
All people are responsible for themselves.
Country, state, county, town lines blurr and then disappear.
Languages are learned and then taught purely for the ecstasy of communication.

I have a dream that religions disappear from the Earth.
Only spirituality, blissful personal spirituality, remains.
Each person heads their own church, and freely performs their rituals
When and where that person deems fit.

I have a dream of a Pop Culture that means being yourself
and thinking for you.
We will celebrate individuality and the unique.
Personality forgery and the so-called norms will be banished to the past.

I have a dream teaching will go beyond the physical and mental planes,
beyond the facts.
Attentiveness to your spiritual self will be taught.
We will teach to ask questions.
Our children become the curious inquisitive of the universe.
Children will not be taught to fear themselves or sex.

I have a dream where sexuality will not be shunned,
but celebrated.
Sexuality of all kinds - gay, straight, bisexual, transsexual, transgender
and all orientations in between:
Legalized, beautiful, free.

I have a dream that the Earth's voice is heeded with wisdom.
The Moon's song is sung with rapture.
The Water's dance is danced by 1000 stomping feet.
The Fire's passion are within every heart.

I have a dream that the world will become a world of
free expression in any form, not just the conventional.

Rob Brezsny is My Hero

My love affair with this man began a couple of years ago when going to SUNY Fredonia and the newspaper that I picked up from the Starbucks every week published his horoscopes. I always found his horoscopes just chock full of insight and all around weirdness. I remember the first horoscope of his that I read. It tickled me so pink, that I had it taped to my wall. I don't remember what it said, but it was uncannily awesome.

Well, I picked up one of his books for my birthday, Pronoia is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings. I'm only on the third chapter out of 16, but already it is drastically altering my thought processes. The way he thinks and the way he expresses himself is so incredibly unique and beautiful. The piece that is the basis for this piece can be found here: [link]
(That is also his official website, where his horoscopes and the entire text of his other book can be found.)

I dare you to write your own and link me to it. =]
