If we build a bridge.
Not a tower or a bomb or a dam or a nuclear power plant.
If we build a bridge.
Not a riot or a genocide or a war or a conquest.
If we build a bridge.
Not a clear cutting or a mass poisoning or an extracting or a mining.
If we build a bridge.
Not a mass extinction.
A bridge that anyone can cross. A bridge that is built by all of us. 7 billion+ strong. It is built on a foundation of love with beams made of hope and courage and bolted together by trust, ingenuity, imagination and integrity. A bridge that finally sees the preciousness of unique and each person's individuality as equal. A bridge where diversity adds beauty and colour to the design. A bridge that leads us from the banks of the status quo, over impossible to a new land we haven't yet seen.
It's impossible.
If we don't work together.
It's impossible.
If we wait too long to realize the potential that is innate in each of us.
It's impossible.
If we're not willing to entertain the power of love to transform and heal.
It's impossible.
If we don't start with ourselves and start building our relationships with others. Old and young. Male and Female. Conservative and Liberal. Capitalists/Free-market advocates and Socialists/Communists. White and Black and Red and Yellow. Rural and Urban. Christian and Muslim and Hindu and Buddhist and Jain and Sikh and etc. We're all in this together.
This is personal. This is global. This is it. Now or never. Let's make it worth living for.
