It's easier to imagine
the end of the world
than the end

of capitalism.
But it's not impossible
to imagine a new
world in place
of capital-- a world
run on soul and not
on bank accounts.

The Pope who used to ride subways,
me drinking a can of Dr. Thunder and
wondering

why that's a big deal.

After all, in a perfect world, we could
ALL have a chance to become
important to the grand scheme of
things.

Hell, maybe we are.
Maybe you have more of an impact
on the people around you than
the Pope.

Or maybe that's a good way to
challenge yourself.

Maybe you're bigger than you think.

The world opens like a flower
if you yourself become a flower,
change imminent and incan-
descent and if you refuse like
a rock in the riverbed then you
stay a rock.

Being a rock has perks but damn
it's just not for me. I'd rather
float down the cascading river
and follow it down to the sea.

After all, we're all being swept
away into the sea anyway, no
matter if we're rocks or flowers
or anything in-between.

Believe. It's way more fun than
to doubt.

why be a bud when
 ya can be a flower
