Hello brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors, vibrations in the mind of the one true God whose name is Love

The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real."

It's just a ride.

But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

(Since I get a lot of comments about this text, I have to clarify that even if I hold it close to my heart, I'm not the author of it, it's just borrowed from the great Bill Hicks, if you like it you should check him out)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host and I surf and tell peoples i meet "No, not kitesurfing, Couchsurfing!" I like to meet peoples from different cultures and fates and hear their stories

Sometimes I have lots of time, other days, no time at all what i promise is a place to sleep, everything else is improvised

All the fun in making new friends and all the sadness in saying goodbye to them, without a dull moment!
