“I hope you are having really serious disagreements. With your habits. Your expectations. Ideas that suck the intelligence right out of us, but masquerade as heroes. With those you love and they who love you. I hope you’re actually paying attention to what is being said as though it matters or were true. Because it isn’t mattering, and nearly all of it isn’t true. I hope you have a weapon formed of the most incisive intelligence and insight you can possible assemble, and I hope you’re using that weapon with the care and delicacy of a mother’s first caress of her newborn angel — not just in the world, but in yourself.

The wrong wars have too long been perpetrated in our name and with our own minds and bodies; now, we must bring the conflict beyond conflict, into ecstasy, reunion, discovery, and mutual developmental excellence. It is time for the war not of weapons but of wonder — whose impassioned gestures obliterate not living beings, but the bonds that have too long dominated and hobbled the very bases of our humanity, our divinity, our intelligence, and our animality. A war in the place where our wars were born, to end all wars, and free all prisoners. I hope you disagree.”
