"we can leave too soon
we can leave too soon forever"--Zwan, A New Poetry

Life is far too short. Way too short. Our time on this planet, is so important to each and every one of us. We want to get the most we can out of it. However, it's so hard to actually get this. Put behind the eight-ball, at every turn, so many conflicting forces, trying to put us under their thumb. We lose sight of making our lives worth something, instead we become commodities to be used and thrown out like the trash.

Leftist, Liberal, Progressive, Moderate, Conservative, Libertarian. American. Canadian. European. We all have one thing in common.

We all know, that deep down inside, something is just not right. Something is wrong. Things are just not the way they should be.

Our own ability to pursue our dreams has been lost in the rush for profits. The basic right, to try and find happiness with this time we have together has been lost. No, not lost. Stolen. Why? Bigger profits, certainly, but I think a larger part is simply to show power.

But I'm seeing trends, waves, currents that give me hope. That freedom means more than just limiting government, (Although that can be very important) that freedom means the ability to pursue your dreams.

That's what this is about. It's about the growing movement of hope, of happiness, of community..

Of freedom.
