On Vision

Sometimes, you read a horoscope and think it just doesn’t apply to your life. Other times, it just fits:

Look, you’re an alien. You’re advanced so far beyond humanity that thinkin’ you’ll be happier if you were like us simple folk is only going to bring you down even more. You’re a child of the universe! Don’t get stuck here, get back out there. Way out. That’s where the fun is. FFWD

As an alien, I can be a refugee and struggle with what I’ve lost, or a pilgrim and seek for what I need to find.

I’m struggling with a lot of why, how, and what, not just where, as I transition from one stage to the next.

I’m finding what it is that brought me here in the first place: the vision of a different world, the belief in social change, and the spark that lives in all of us.

It’s not really a choice, but if I have to make one, the vision wins every time. I may be way out, but at least I’m going to have fun while I’m there.
