purephase

imagine yourself on a tall cliff, birds swirling lazily around your head and maybe there's a small stream in the distance loping over distant hills, maybe there's not. it's your vision.

anyway, it's serene.

you've gathered the people you love around you to share in your vision. this (to you) is love. the sharing of immortality in a perfect setting probably unmarked by human civilization (or any other as far as you can tell).

to each person you've carefully wrapped a small gift of incomparable value (that costs you nothing) in dry tissue paper, and you turn to dole out the goodies. each of their faces lights up with glee, and perhaps some hidden emotion that only you and they share (it's a secret... shhh) about some moment/feeling you've shared in the past.

they're happy. you've made them happy.

in this vision thoughts of religion, political fervour, and fanatical patriotism do not exist. there's no such thing.

you've all realized that the true future lies in tossing away the out-dated ideologies of a confused history and to grasp that without each and everyone of the species on this planet we will not survive.

we all need to find our cliffs, we need to look over them while surrounded by people we love and cherish, and who love and cherish us in return.

and at the final instant, we leap. it truly is an unknown experience that can be frightening and beautiful all at the same time.

with any luck though, a helping hand will reach out and gently guide us in the direction we were meant to go, and we'll land safely in a whole new world.
