Forever Reactive and Never Proactive

"VOTE!"

I see you. I see your all caps... And I see your exclamation point. Behind it all, though, there is mostly darkness. The word that you yell at me disguises what it actually symbolizes, fear. It is contagious and it is subversive, we may never even know it exists. Have we really gone in a new direction, will we really change anything? I think not, unless we become proactive and fight for what we believe in, not against something or somebody else. That type of fight, it is filled with love - not fear, or hate, or separation. Progress. A new bag for all of our worries, our fears, our hopes and dreams; because the old bag... it became too small.

I want to talk to you about voting, but not until the election is over. Not until we have felt what we felt and experienced so much, can we talk about what it means. What it means to each of us personally, experiencialy.

I want to listen to you.
