ME IN A NUTSHELL<br />
<br />
I believe love is the closest we get to divinity<br />
I believe in waiting patiently on the corner for the light to change<br />
I believe in being kind<br />
<br />
I believe that as birds fly, and fish swim, humans create;<br />
it is our ‘natural’ mode of operation<br />
I believe the opposite of war is not peace, it’s creation<br />
I believe creative expression is a way to get to know<br />
what we don’t know<br />
that we already know<br />
<br />
I believe in finding common ground and elevating the discussion<br />
in wanting what I have and giving what I need<br />
I believe in asking myself how it is that I will come alive<br />
because that is what the world needs<br />
<br />
I believe in keeping rocks in my pockets<br />
to remind me to stay close to the ground<br />
I believe stones and aerial maps of the ocean floor<br />
teach me to fly<br />
I believe to be free is not merely to cast off one’s shackles<br />
but to live in a way<br />
that respects<br />
and enhances<br />
the freedom of others<br />
<br />
I believe in leaving everything and everyone and everywhere<br />
just a little better off then when I found it<br />
I believe when we let go of who we are, we become who we might be<br />
I believe in paying my library fees<br />
<br />
I believe in psychics, astrology, epigraphs<br />
crossing fingers at cemeteries<br />
lifting feet when going over a bridge<br />
ice cream on the hot days<br />
I believe in swimming at the glacier in the summer<br />
and chomping icebergs like snow-cones<br />
<br />
I believe asking for - and getting - someone’s consent is sexy<br />
and knowing the pleasure you want and how to get it<br />
is subversive and revolutionary<br />
I believe gender and power and play is what makes the sex hot<br />
<br />
I believe stretch marks and scars are beautiful<br />
because they tell the history of the body<br />
I believe the body is a temple to be worshipped<br />
that we are not separate than the earth, but rather from the earth<br />
I believe it feels good to shit outside<br />
<br />
I believe in cranberries, avocados and cashews<br />
in redheads and black ink<br />
in leaving a trail on an unmarked canvas<br />
in drawings on skin<br />
in tiny yellow flowers under the chin to check if I like butter<br />
<br />
I believe in watching the media, pop culture, consumerism,<br />
and celebreality with a critical eye<br />
I believe in turning off the TV<br />
I believe in accessories: shoes, belts, bags, scarves, glasses<br />
<br />
I believe growth requires the temporary suspension of security<br />
in second chances and red balloons<br />
I believe in wishing on the full moon and faery rings<br />
and dandelions gone to seed and eyelashes<br />
and shooting stars and lovers’ laughter and birthday candles<br />
<br />
I believe very few people are actually out to get us<br />
but are rather just distracted by their own<br />
human-drama-bubble of daily life<br />
I believe differences are the only way we learn<br />
I believe intentions do matter<br />
I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt<br />
but still protecting the gentle red ribbed cage<br />
around my heart<br />
<br />
I believe you and I are not mistakes, we are stardust<br />
<br />
I believe in unfolding my own mythology<br />
like an origami swan<br />
asking every day:<br />
what will I do with my one wild and precious life?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
