Sunday, November 13, 2011

I had a dream last night, and when I got up today, I made some notes...

We have had some bumpy roads.

That is to be expected.

You know how you go home to your family - your sisters and brothers - for some extended vacation, and you are so glad to be there with everyone. But four days later, when it comes time to leave - you are glad for that too...
You have been forced to live in bubble, together, under difficult conditions. Tensions are bound to stretch.

It is natural, over time, that our own, individual preferences and concerns will surface. But do not let them blind you to our commonality.

The Chinese say, if you chase 2 rabbits, you won't catch either.

Some of us are very passionate. We need that energy. However, you may have to let your skin thicken a bit to keep your eye on the prize. Listen to other people's words.
Some of us are very strong and determined or put up a firm front. Sometimes that regimentation is necessary. You may have to yield a little. But listen to people's hearts.
Remember, the energy you give is the energy you get.

We came together out of common concerns. The root of all evil - money and greed - has shattered the shining beacon of democracy. That is why we are here.

I want you to look around at everyone you can see. Shake every hand you see here today. We are the wide, splendid spectrum of humanity, come together for the greater, common good.

Relax. Stay focused.
