Utopia - for all.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P_TIMBP_oE

we'd gather around
all in a room
fasten our belts
engage in dialogue
we'd all slow down
rest without guilt
not lie without fear
disagree sans judgement

we would stay
and respond
and expand
and include
and allow
and forgive
and enjoy
and evolve
and discern
and inquire
and accept
and admit
and divulge
and open
and reach out and speak up

this is utopia this is my utopia
this is my ideal my end in sight
utopia this is my utopia
this is my nirvana
my ultimate

we'd open our arms
we'd all jump in
we'd all coast down into safety nets

we would share and listen and support and
welcome be propelled by passion not
invest in outcomes we would breathe and be
charmed and amused by difference
be gentle and make room for every emotion

we'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd
all be heard we'd all feel seen

we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more
grateful we would heal be humbled
and be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go
and know when to do which we'd
release and disarm and stand up and feel safe

this is utopia this is my utopia
this is my ideal my end in sight
utopia this is my utopia
this is my nirvana
my ultimate

peace~

1. Hey...you are a good vibes person
that this joint could use a few more of. I don't that we've ever had much more than a bit of passing chit-chat here, but I thought I'd let you know I--a relative stranger--remember all the good feeling you've spread, your work with kids (crazy hair day, right?) and your all around positivity.

It ripples outward, see?

peace to you too.....

5. Thank you, darkstar.....
:loveya:
I just got home from work...so tired...and now I feel wonderful! Such kind and generous words...
You're a sweetie, and I can't believe that you remember my crazy hair day photo! Well, I suppose something that odd would be remembered....:blush:
We just had crazy hair day again a couple of weeks ago...a yearly thing. I knew I'd not post this year's photo, but I didn't know this would happen....

last year...just for the wonderful memory;-)


this year...the social worker did a better job last year. I was so excited about my puppets...I think that may be why my glasses are a tad skewed...


I feel like I'm looking for attention in a very strange manner...:o
Once again....thank you, darkstar, for making my day...


peace~

2. I'll see your Utopia, and raise you one Utopia
Utopia - One World
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvekCc-Ki-c

One world
Whoa, it's our world
Yeah, yeah, one world
Whoa, it's our world
Yeah, yeah

When I walk on the street I feel glad I was born
Music comes a'ringin' out of every door
I see faces I know and they give me a sign
We got something between us and it feels all right

I see chrissy the clipper, she colors my hair
Micky and margaret make the clothes that we wear
And there's gene who runs the club where we dance all night
When you live in our world everything's all right

Politicians and dictators and the guys with the dough
They think they run the world but they just don't know
'cause down here on the street we got it under control
From berlin to san francisco, from new york to tokyo

9. And thank you as well
Even when things seem to be completely hopeless, I always come across a piece of music that makes me think that things are going to be alright. To me, music is the greatest thing in the world. I live for it, and I can tell it's very important to you too!

Have a good weekend!!! :toast: :pals:

11. You, Dystopian, are an angel
And I :loveya: you to pieces. :hug:

That is the perfect song.


Angels (I love the video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_iJx-1Wbtk

People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better
Love is the answer

Search inside
Are there any more tears to cry
(Don't you wonder why?)
Why you feel so alone
All against the world
Search back time
When you used to sing alone
(To the music of your soul)
Song of faith you can change
It's not too late

People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better
Love is the answer

Search inside
Are there any more tears to cry
(Don't you wonder why?)
Why you feel so alone
All against the world
(World World)
Search back time
When you used to sing alone
(To the music of your soul)
Song of faith you can change
It's not too late

People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better
Love is the answer
