Me? You? …Us.
I sit with friends
And talk; about Love, God and Politics.
But mostly about fears;
Our fears of inadequacy; of death; of money, testings, authority, good and evil.
I cannot blame anymore,
Fallacies and faults are as much my doing as others,
Especially if I remain inactive.
And so?
I gather, I organize, I distribute my thoughts.
For the era demands that each do what they can.
– Be strong. Laugh hard – for the weight is our own to ease.

This is as meaningful today as it was 17 years ago! The paradox is that “our weight is still our own to ease” for doing it alone makes it all the harder… yet all the more necessary.
