GUIDED REALITY
Instead of us dwelling in what we fight against, can we find the courage to dream and believe in what we truly want and commit to one act of gratitude as if we already have it?
Imagine living in a world without war and violence. We only know safety. All have amnesty in spite of our differences. All of humanity having a deep lasting bond of love and trust cementing us as one spirit. Civil liberties? What concern? All have plenty of health care, food and shelter and can hope to grow old like the still standing Appalachian / Pacific Crest forests, harmony and balance between all genders. Plenty of alternative transportation, all breaking gasoline addiction (Hallelujah!). Instead of guns and cars, cool bikes and guitars. No matter what one's circumstances, no one can steal the paintbrush to one's imagination. (Tom Petty's song "Can't Stop the Sun" comes to mind). Feel, taste, smell, hear and see this world with every fiber of your being!
As a songwriter/artist I not only compose for money and to make my friends happy; I wish to restore a glimmer of light and hope to humankind. Dreaming is our best defense.

UPDATE: "No matter what one's circumstances, no one can steal the paintbrush to one's imagination." just became the tagline on my e-mail.
