Re: An Hour For Magic in 2008

Here's to all of you, all of us, on this spinning rock, realizing a global
sense of community via YouTube or MySpace, or FaceBook, or at Kozmic
Avenues, or wherever you hang and haunt.  Here's to all of you, overlooking
our differences, finding common ground in our humanity, in our oneness,
reasons to be friends across oceans, while the world seems to always be
teetering on the edge of endless night.

In the future borders will no longer confine us, ideology will no longer
imprison us, and our minds will be free to find the emancipating truth that
beckons to us, like a candle that has already found us. This is our hour for
magic.  A time to be alive & to dream and weave this wonderful mystical
unity into every niche and corner of our world, and to share it with
everyone.  The man said he wanted roses in his garden bower, dig? So let's
start planting some roses.  Let's create that rich Mandala.  Sounds like a
job for me and you.

Let's still believe in the good old days, of kindness & unsporting brow.
Let's forget our differences and let our friends be who they are and feel
what they feel.  You know, forget and allow.  It's called unconditional
love.

You sort of reach a point in your life, when you decide that it's important
to just be who you are here and now, and that money and outward signs of
success really don't matter in the long run.  We're all rock stars, all the
time, to our friends, our children, our lovers, wives, cousins, kin.  Who
says you need a stadium with a massive wall of sound P.A. and thousands of
screaming fans to be a rock star.  What about the feast of friends?  We're
talking quality beats quantity here.

I mean there's nothing wrong with playing concerts for thousands of people
or being really successful, only that you shouldn't make that your purpose..
Your purpose is here and now in the moment and the love, creativity,
insight, and humility you are able to muster. For some, they are able to
magnify that magic into something great like what the Doors accomplished, or
what the Dead carried on for 30 years.  But not everyone can be a superstar
of this magnitude and even for those who do achieve such greatness, they'll
be the first to tell you, "be careful what you ask for; you just might get
it."

 So be thankful and thank the sky, today.  For the rapt sunset & the wind
through the trees. And remember, for all your troubles and pains, there are
millions much worse off than you and me.  All life is suffering and our
troubles and the troubles of the world are par for the course.  Try to find
a reason to hope; to see the silver lining in the dark storm cloud skies.

 I see so much talent out there; so much creativity, it just boggles my
mind.  We're living in a 24/7 creative orgy.   It's a hell of a time to be
alive.  That's my silver lining.  You realize that even for talented people,
in the past being successful involved a lot of luck.  Now, if you are
diligent you can grow yourself a worldwide audience.

 Finally, we are all successful if we can love ourselves and our neighbors
and our enemies, as ourselves.  You can't put a price tag on something like
that. What's important is for all of us to participate and create; not just
be passive voyeurs, letting others act out all our fantasies. It's great to
have bands and idols and heroes who sing and dance and inspire us; but let
them inspire you.

 That's it for now!  Remember in 2008 it's still all about the L O V E !
