What is all this?

I swear I'll actually write something of my own one of these days, but today is not the day as I've had 10 minutes to myself since 9:30am and need sleep, but Jason Mraz (obviously, he is the inspiration for most of my blogs) replied to a fan's question of him and his thoughts on "What is all this?" which for some would be a very vague and intimidating question in such an eloquent, inspiring, thoughtful way that just encapsulates so many of my beliefs on life, existence, humanity, connectedness, etc that I had to share it... so what is all this you say?


"I’m not attempting to change the world in one blog or with one song. I’m just trying to keep the conversation moving along. My voice is just a small contribution to the big ongoing conversation that helped man live past his 40s. It’s the same conversation that overcame apartheid and is the same conversation that is establishing equality for all. It’ll be this conversation that will eventually lead to marriage equality and the end of all wars. I trust it is this kind of open dialogue that will bring a few more people up in the world with love and happiness as something they use in life to the point that they can pass it along to their kids. This is age old vernacular and its all been said before by many a hippy and scholar alike. I’m just one man’s view of life. And I enjoy my freedom and realizations in the telling of it. This is the era of the seeker; those redesigning their lives for sustainability and those redefining the God Myth for the one love and fair treatment of all of Earth’s inhabitants. I think this is an important time to be alive and I am grateful to be in action. You reading this means you are in action too. Welcome to our renaissance."

Call me a renaissance woman, I'm in!
