We're all artists and each other's muses...

We're the new Brad Pitts and Johnny Depps

We're Swedish princesses

and Iranian movie stars.

We're the new world.

We're the ones coming into power for the second cycle.

'We are the music makers'

'And we are the dreamers of dreams'

We are building empires of creativity

The same way we built this city on rock and roll.

We are the positive change

That quells ignorance and stops negation.

We are the 'yes, and's'- not the 'no, but's'

We are continuing the work

that Michael never finished.

We are healing the world

by looking at the man in the mirror.

We are victims of circumstance

and are so thankful for it...

We are Obama coming into presidency

To clean up America's untamed Bush.

We are marriages of any form

Because all we do is celebrate love.

We are monogamists

who respect proper-practicing polyamourists

And polyamourists

who don't understand societal terminologies like 'gay' or 'straight'.

We dance together at every opportunity

because when we move to the rhythm

So does our breath,

and so do our hearts.

And the more of us who dance,

The more the earth hears us.

And the earth always delivers

what the heart truly wants.

We are expensive, well-made clothes

That last through the ages,

Not cheap fabrics made by children

Because we are not slaves to the industry

Nor do we condone slavery.

We believe in quality over quantity

And know that through wearing what we love

It doesn't matter if it's out of season

Because when we express what we feel in any way,

People will admire and respect us for that,

Even if they would never wear it themselves...

We raise our children knowing the yings and yangs of life

-That balance of nurture and discipline.

And it doesn't matter if it's men or women giving either

-Because a child raised with love and respect

Is a blessed child. Irregardless of their parent's gender.

We don't shy away from eye contact.

We don't wear sunglasses or headphones,

Because if we are blessed enough to not be deaf or blind,

we recognize how valuable it is to connect with other humans

with every sense we have.

We sing together

- because when we sing together

We're never insecure.

We breathe deeper...

We listen to our bodies...

And we help in any way we can...

Because,

Like artists,

every portrait we paint contains images of ourselves,

And like dreams,

every character is merely an aspect of ourselves.

-So, when we help others,

We are truly just helping ourselves in turn...
