I feel an inner urge to express what I see, to communicate and share with others all these impressions. Often the things I see are there, not yet manifest, but waiting... to be observed, talked about, and embraced.
These new insights need another approach, a more vivid curiosity...
Due to fear and prejudice we prefer to see only "the official" truth - but THE OFFICIAL TRUTH IS DEAD - being dead, it has nothing to give...
We can continue pretending Death is fascinating or... we can take the trouble to LIVE...
THE NEW has no definition yet...
Again, IT requires another "perception", the courage to apprehend everything differently, from a totally new angle, with new confidence and inquisitive touch. This blog is not about interesting concepts, it is about participation... finding new solutions, inspiration, togetherness.
100%.
Franklin was the first Great American Genius. We should heed his words on that point.
It is no doubt Franklin was a great man.
Once we have the guts to heed and stand for OUR OWN FREEDOM and not sacrifice it for anything in this world, we will inevitably discover our specific greatness.
Yes…freedom and uprightness above all!
