Does it? People will fight and die for things that don't matter For illusions...
Ooo. I wil be there soon. How scared and nervous I am. How afraid of peopel I am and for good reason.
People frighten the hell out of me. They will strap bombs onto them and blow themselves up. They will stone their daughters, disown their sons and break up with everything that truly matters. The threads of friendship, love, compassion and beauty. These are the only things that matter. I don't care where you come from, what race you are, what sexuality you are, I don't care about what your religion is. It's all an illusion. It only hides what really counts. Peel the skin back and what to you get? Muscles, bones, flesh and cells held together. Divinity like a drop of water in the ocean. Listen to the words of Rumi, Jesus, Buddha, Martin Luther King. In it our the echoes of truth and this is something I CRAVE and thirst for and I can never get enough of it because there is so much holding it back, blinding it, threatening it. There is no choice but to protect those delicate little souls and stand against anything on Earth that threatens them, even God himself...
But, dang, am I NERVOUS about going to Carnegie Hall! Do I have to like opera? No, not just like opera LOVE IT. It's more of a rich person's art. The tickets are about a month's salary for me. I'm so tired of not having a lot of money. Of working and getting nowhere. I wonder if my dreams will evern come true.
Why is it that so many places in the world are threatened?? It bothers me... It is as if something we need, soemthing we don't even know we need is being threatened, is being destroyed bit by bit for convience or money, for the sort of things that won't last long. Like throwing away a good relationship for a one night stand with another person. Like wrecking the old forest inside a person until they are too tired to try...

Syn, I'm with you. Keep holding on to the light, and shine what light you have brightly for others.
