“one simple demand that Barack Obama must ordain a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence that corporate money has over our representatives in Washington. Our one simple demand is: STOP THE MONIED CORRUPTION AT THE HEART OF OUR DEMOCRACY!”
Dare to be Magical, Essay by Sabina Nore
http://www.deepspirits.com/phantasmagoria/essays/dare-to-be-magical.php
From the page: if ceaseless beauty ever unfolded right in front of your eyes, then you know what magic really is and how little it has to do with illusions or seasoned techniques. If you were ever in a moment in which time seemed to glimmer and your bare essence wrapped around you like a warm blanket, then you know what magic feels like. Magic is the scent that fills your nostrils and your soul when you throw love, beauty and courage into the mix. You can breathe it in and exhale it, and the magical “particles” you exhale follow an unpredictable yet quite natural curve and may therefore land at an unexpected but always beautiful destination…
..Recognize, observe and see the magic around you, dare to dream your own dreams, even if they are not oil to the machine, and above all, dare to turn these dreams into reality. Because magic enjoys to dwell around the brave. It is then, when you begin to turn your dreams into reality, that you will be able to watch magic unfold in front of you. It is also then that you will see it with clarity and a gratifying calmness. This is sometimes referred to as bliss.

From the page: In the real world, you can’t have a nature/culture split, but in this culture you do and it has real effects on the physical world. You can’t live on a planet and kill it at the same time.
