Without sleep, I tend to meditate...I feel...I feel the world...

the oceans...the gulf...sigh

the losses...fish, people, dolphins, birds...

the hope... that we will make conscious decisions...

the despair...when will we learn...

the judgment and the helplessness...

I wonder in the night...

as fireworks celebrate freedom...

freedom of choice...

free will...

freedom from the known.

I pray we wake up... embrace each other... and know that we are all in this together. I pray we make wiser decisions, appreciate diversity, and have compassion for all... but most of all, I pray that I have the courage to change.
