I want a revolution

I want to let everybody in. I want us all to write. I want us to remember that we used to write. Before phones, we wrote each other letters. We´re doing that again with e-mail, and I think it´s a balancing of the wheel. We have been going too fast and we know that. Taking the time to write something down grounds us. Taking the time to write to each other, we find ourselves doing more right by each other. Yes, I want a revolution.
I want us to take back the power into our own hands. I want us to remember we have choices and voices. I want us to right our world, and writing is the tool I feel helps us to do it. We are a restless lot here in the West. We do not take easily to meditation. Writing is an active form of meditation that lets us examine our lives and see where and how we can alter them to make them more sound.
Yes, writing is an art, but "art" is part of the verb "to be" - as in "thou art truly human", we all have the right to make art. We all have the right to write.
