Revolutionary self-notes

• Do it out of love, not fear nor hate. Love for the people, for goodness, harmony, love, beauty, interconnectedness, even including those who wish to destroy it all for bullshit.

• “The true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.” ~ Che Guevara

• “I believe in living, I believe in birth, I believe in the sweat of love, and in the fire of truth.” ~ Assata

• “I believe that a lost ship, steered by tired, seasick sailors, can still be guided home to port.” ~ Assata

• Smile & be joyful; it bothers those who wish to destroy you

• Always act out of truth, not just in-the-moment emotions. Be calculated, be spiritual, be another “eternal archetype, that is, the shaman.” ~ (Poetry night person)

• This too shall pass. Change comes for all; better days are inevitable. Peace is inevitable. Revolution, is inevitable. Rebellion, is inevitable. Rebirth, is inevitable. Love, is inevitable. Destruction is inevitable, but so too is Creation.

• Stay close to your friends, don’t corner yourself, don’t isolate; keep soaring to higher and higher highs. You are a warrior just like your mother.

• You know you can do it. You know that we all can do it. We all know that we can do it. We will do it. Aeons of Change.

• Fight for your friends. (and anyone/everyone is a friend, either met or yet to be met)
