"Moments of Life"

A cool ocean breeze pushes against my face. Tiny little animals chase me while a love bird laughs as my Guyana hat flies into the air. I can't see where the sky ends or where the world begins. There are a moments of euphoria in life that make me appreciate everything. It is easy to forget beauty when lack of sleep, hunger, stupid people, and other stressful nonsense gets in the way.

I talked to a young man, about 19 years old, the other day and he said he was being sent off to war. I saw the fear in his eyes and I wanted to cry. This sadness was overcome by a feeling of sickness and then depression. War is wrong. It is started by millionaires who want more money and power and it is fought by teenagers who are poverty stricken and passed over by the education system. There is no beauty in war, someone may declare victory, but there is never a winner.

The United States of America is an amazing place to be. Run free and be happy. Don't let television hold you in place and numb your mind. Don't let an unfulfilling job seperate you from reality. Like Neil Young sang, "Don't be denied." Freedom is the greatest feeling in the world. Better than any chemically induced lie. Everything may not be equal and fair, but just walk outside and breathe in life.

I shared an amazingly jouyous and intimate moment of life with 104,000 people the other day. For a couple of hours people stopped thinking and just allowed themselves to be a part of something. Greed and jealousy had ceased. A large family of brothers and sisters forgot about psychologically created social boundries and just let themselves feel happiness. It was a grand event.

Take a walk outside today without bitching about the weather. Look around. Suck in life. Love the cold air, love the heat, whatever it may be. There will never be another day like today, so live. Just don't hurt anybody or anything along the way. Life is beautiful, enjoy it. Peace is possible.
