(with music) There are so many songs about rainbows because humans exist on a spectrum of humanity. Spectrums are ways of seeing things, whether colors or ourselves or each other. What we perceive in ourselves and each other informs our choices in how we treat each other. No matter how unconscious or habitual, we are humans, and can learn to change our choices, bit by little bit, toward or away from our hearts' desires. This is the truth! This is my belief! …At least for now. Who knows what I'll know and believe tomorrow? It's not here yet. This is today, I am alive, and still I strive. It's the striving, not the freezing and parking on an idea or ideology or identity, that is the flow of life. We pour out creation because we must. Because life is pain and I want something better, I want something more, something I dream of and must create because my dreams are uniquely mine and only exist in my head until I put them out there, with all the risk and vulnerability that implies. Be the hat. Pass the hat. We came from fire and earth and water and wind, and will someday return to those things. Who we are is what we do with the time in between, with what we've got.
