you are free

written April 2005 outside a mega supermarket in Santiago, Chile

No more me me me me me, you are free
No more me me me me me, you are free

Enough me! Enough I! The people in the malls may as well have ME in big letters on their shirts! What about me? Me me me me me … but what about you? How do YOU fit in to their ME? You don’t. I don’t.

Our western civilization is slave to the “free” market. We want what we want, we want what we see. We say we are free to buy, we are happy. We won’t say hi to you. No trust. No love. No freedom … or freedom? What is freedom? What does it mean to be free?

Nature is free … simply molecules in motion, energy, the planet moving. The more artificial we are and dependent on the ARTIFICIAL, the less free we are. The Earth is spinning. We are on it.

You are free. Your car is not. A tree is free. A pole is not. A bird is free. A building is not. Globalize natural freedom and natural time. Corn growing is free. A wristwatch is not. An apple is free. A dog is free. You are free. Things are not.

SOULS ARE FREE. Don’t deny yourself freedom. You have energy.
You are free.
