They tell us to avoid strangers and mind our own business … Well I say it is time for us to be Kind to strangers; to make their Happiness our top priority.

They demand we worship a god who condemns & judges & punishes … Well I say it is time for us to seek — & find — & emulate, the God of pure & perfect Love.

They order us to look the other way while grave injustices are being committed against millions upon millions of innocent animals … Well I say it is time for us to have the humility to see those horrors, and the courage to stop supporting them.

They mandate that we “follow the rules” & “tow the line” & “respect authority” — even when those rules are patently unjust, even when that line is blurred & bland & boring; even when that authority is perversely corrupt … Well I say it is time for us to dismiss those rules; that it is time for us to cross that line; that it is time for us to hold all authorities accountable … I say it is time to be Free.

They command us to “be responsible” & to “get serious” & to “act appropriately” … Well I say it is time for us to boldly defy those orders … by living lives overflowing with random acts of Kindness & filled with flagrant expressions of Joy.

Amen … Let it be so.
