'this is what you should do:
love the earth and sun and animals,
despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants,
argue not concerning God,
have patience and indulgence toward the people...
reexamine all you have been told in school or church or in any book,
dismiss what insults your very soul,
and your flesh shall become a great poem.'
advice comes from a variety of sources. Walt Whitman says it beautifully in Leaves of Grass. what I love about these words is the message conveyed. the attitude given. the belief instilled. the desire expressed. it varies a bit from my no negativity kick, but instills the same message. choose.
put more succinctly, and to my ears equally as poetic, rach mad love cries out 'I want to report the hope.'
count me in.
