Is it insane to introduce the thought that maybe peace, equality, and harmony make up the status quo of existence and all else that undermines these basic elements are abnormalities? Right now it is just a question upon which I have not yet meditated enough to develop an argument but it just seems right, somewhere deeper than the aspects of myself of which I am currently conscious, it just seems right.
If it is not right I am not sure if I can go another day. Life has to be more than just struggle. Success has to be something that is achievable today. I don’t know home much longer I can go running on the treadmill of resistance in the pursuit of a brighter, freer future. I’ve been running for a long time now and am getting sick of staring at the same four walls.
This week I got off the treadmill, walked outside and saw the world with fresh eyes. I saw growing trees, blossoming flowers, and beautiful skies. I heard birds singing, children laughing, and music celebrating the eve of a new year. These aspects of existence do not make sense in a paradigm of resistance, but they do make sense in a paradigm of life.
Life is around us, above us, below us, and within us. Within each breath, each organ, each cell, there is life. On every mountain and in every desert there is life—life as energy; life as goodness; life in harmony. A paradigm of struggle cannot contain the truth that life is the status quo of existence.

Begin.
Sometimes escaping is the worst thing you can do. Sometimes you need to be amongst reality to truly see. But then other times the escape reminds you why you must continue to fight. you realize that it's within your being.
And I can sit here
Music blasting and escape into my world.
But it’s when the music fades out
Or the song changes
I remember
That it is here that I am sitting.
But the thing is
I take something from those moments
That you spoke to me
And inspired my spirit
And so if it is here I sat than this is here
it will start
Please deliver us.
--Give me PEACE revolutionary.
