I hardly know where to begin. Should've known I'd be the first to crack.
And I love the list. So did poor Bozzi, and look where it got him.
Exiled. But this isn't political, I swear. This is a story about the
overwhelming, infinite power of love. Love amidst the barricades...
So, there we were. Us, on our side, in front of the Federal Building.
Them, on the other side of the street, mostly, with their slogans of
brutality. Some of us were pretty rauccous, to be sure. Loud. Eccentric.
Goofy. We had the poets and the musicians on our side. They had some
hooligan who arrived in an actual *tank*, complete with faux gun turret.
Unbelievable.
They danced on the tank and shouted foul, uncouth things at us.
We roared back, sometimes in unison. It was truely horrifying.
The epitome of raw division. A veritable microcosmic display of the
rapidly widening civic gulf. I sensed a creepy foreboding. Were it not
for the jack booted security forces, I felt as though "our" side would
have been in emminent, mortal danger.
But we had a secret power on our side. We were, almost to the last man,
woman and child, smiling. We were love-bombing them. I could feel it in
my chest, you could almost taste it in the air. It was massive. It was
infectuous. It was magical. And it was big, big fun. They had only fear,
ignorance and hostility. And we had love. Certainly they had love, too,
hidden somewhere. Perhaps they had just forgotten, and left it at home.
They seemed miserable, gloating in their hostility.
After all, they'd already "won". They've had their way. The missiles are
slamming into that crowded city on the other side of the planet. "They"
only came to "our" protest to harrass us, to make us feel powerless and
insignificant. Yet the sense of empowerment on "our" side was infinite,
overwhelming, cosmic in scope. We were lit up like a burning christmas
tree of love. It was like it was contagious. Hostile energy on our side
just fizzled, the spark never caught. We were projecting a unified
force field of love. I've never felt anything quite like it before, it
was... well, it just was. I felt so grateful and proud of my companions.
Adventurous and foolhardy individuals sporadically ventured across to
mingle with the opposition. I cornered one, and shredded him. Didn't
mean to. I just struck up a conversation with the guy, and then hammered
him with the truth of love. I walked right into his eyeballs and painted
him a ghastly portrait of his worst possible nightmares, then conjured
for him the alternative of infinite bliss. Normally, I'm a fairly quiet
person, although I used to be able to hypnotize people, occasionally,
long ago, when I was high on psychedelic drugs. It's rather cruel, and
not very fair, I suppose. I had actually forgotten about it, it was so
long ago. The poor "troop supporter" couldn't deal with the truth
filtered through my leering kundalini psychosis. Tears welled in his
eyes, and shame darkened him like a shadow. We disposed of his ugly
sign and I cheered him up a bit. He wandered off into the bliss crowd
with his eyes as wide as saucers. He may wake tomorrow with his
ignorance and brutality fully intact and restored. I don't know. It was
just one small miracle in a long, long day of magic and love.
Later the cops harrassed me and roughed me up a bit. They were getting
tired and cranky. I bullshitted my way out of an arrest charge and
arrived home safe and exhausted. This has been going on for five days
now. Tears are flowing from my eyes as I write this and I feel waves of
bliss vibrating through my body. For a brief moment today I was god. I
say this with the utmost humility. I merely stepped out of the way and
allowed the power of love to squeeze the hatred out of a fellow
human being. It was pretty astonishing, but "I" really had nothing to
do with it. I can barely even remember what I said to the guy.
The power of love will never die or fade away. It is infinite and
eternal and available at all times. It is all the colors of the rainbow.
It is beauty, and it is truth, and it is truely awesome. I am the
rainbow and so are you, each and every one. Shine! Shine on forever!
Hooray for the other side! Love your enemies as yourself, for they *are*
you, and you them. I'm riding on a bliss wave here. Won't you join me? I
love you all, and I will always love you. I don't care what side you're
on. I only hope that you feel the power of love, wherever, whatever,
however and whenever you are. And you are. As I am. May you be at peace
and shine forth in all your splendid colors!

Please don't snuff my little flame of truth. Allow my post to pass the
censor's rebuke. I'll accept moderated status from now on with no
complaint. Or you can ban me from posting, and I'll lurk forever on the
website, gleaning little nuggets in solitude. But I want this one posted
to the list. Thank you all so very much, and I appologize if I have
offended anyone. Peace and Love!
