Leaps of faith
By Elizabeth Argall
Biography
We do not walk on the earth
we walk in the earth
In listening
we become the world
It is sad
we are so ashamed of our dreams
we must become drunk to have them
instead of getting drunk on them
I will never advocate atrophy of the human spirit
No one is too young to speak, or too old.
The saddest thing about love is that it has become intimately entwined with power.
What is love? What should love be?
an openness of spirits, an act of trust, a leap of faith, an intertwining,
a prayer, a dream, an inspiration, a journey an ideal, a desire, something
to dispel the alienation we feel from the rest of the world?
Why are we alienated from the rest of the world? What kind of choice
is that?
