"The creator has a master plan, Peace and happiness for every man"

-- Farrell Sanders/ Amos Leon Thomas Jr.

Note to self and everybody else: What to say?

Peace Energy. Mindfulness. Thoughtfulness.
like when our fathers passed--
energy transfer...

Mescaline. LSD. Simplicity.
Sonic Boom. Spiritualized.
Rock 'n' roll. The Blues.
Listen.

Authenticity. Positivity.

Love and Light.

Time is Now. There is no past. There is no future. There is no “they.” Only you. And me. And all of us. Other “yous.” Almost eight billion of us, our brothers and sisters, all borne from the same stuff, all spinning on this same damn *one and only* beautiful blue boat together. Kindness. Vulnerability.

All together now. Just listen.

All uphill from here. A view from space and we’re all just ants, and some greater force is pulling up the roots, destroying our homes, our livelihoods we've worked our whole lives for.

Telling us *something.*

Change is Now. Slow down. Engage. Life is not one hurried news-clip interaction after another. Life is not one too-short appointment after another. Life is not worrying about putting someone else out. Their time is not more important than your time.

Soak it in –-
the sun, the heat, the cold, the breeze, the smells, the colors, the sounds,
the time in someone else’s presence, whether you like that person or not. Soak it up. Learn from it. Teach them something. Walk in their shoes. Have them walk in your shoes. Laugh about it. Laugh at yourself. Laugh with someone else. Life. Laughter. Joy. Humility. Understanding.

A Jewish "proph"et once told me he couldn't wait for us humans to all cross-breed. Til we're all shades of white, yellow, red, brown, black and every shade inbetween.
What color am I, really? What shade are you?
I don't care, do you?
When we can finally get over *this thing* and move on to a more advanced, collective humanity. The *next concerning thing.* "Hey climate change, can you give us just one more century?"

Time is Short. Get over yourself.

Think of all the things we know now that we didn't know just fifty years ago. Think of all the things we still can't explain. Think of all the great ideas still to come.

Remember Pascal's Wager? *just Believe*

Honesty. Love. Understanding. Everything else is distraction. No more room for ignorance or hate. Hate implodes. Compassion grows.

It's not too late.

Live in this moment. Then the next one. Breathe.

I was wrong about 9/11.

You said it would take two years to get out of the Coronavirus? Now it's 20.
The new Zero Zero. Begin, again.
