LETTERS TO STRANGERS
[ FROM THE HOPEFUL EMAIL GROUP ] how have you been I hope you are well I hope you have hope I hope you don't smell I hope you are smiling and I hope you care and when you have time I hope you share once upon a time I had a dream that I'd put the word hopeful out on the public internet and all the hopeful people in the world would stop in and say hello and share a happy hopeful feeling... I'm still dreaming my dreams and I'm still putting worlds out there in group names and in babbles... it's a selfish dream, really, cuz when I send some positive energy out to you in any way, even if it's just writing some well-wishing words and posting them for anyone to read on the web, I feel good... and I like feeling good :) I wish it was this simple for everybody to put a smile on their own faces... it is once we get past the fears and complications and distractions... I hope you do today and if not today, then someday soon... maybe it's the five year old who woke me this morning that reminded me of how simple it can be to enjoy a moment... kids can be very demanding of attention, but then, they are just doing what I want to do... asking for attention... and I think it's what we all want if we are honest with our wants... just ask :) I've filled life with distractions and complications lately, but I still don't feel trapped by them and the proof for me is that I can leave all the responsibilities behind for a moment to dream just about whenever I want to... sometimes a moment is all I have, like walking from one area to another at work... a thirty second walk between responsibilities or even between crisis, but that thirty seconds is all mine and I can be anywhere I want to be thinking and feeling anything I want to think and feel and so I dream my dream of a hopeful and happy and friendly and healthy and peaceful world... I hope I never grow up enough to forget how to do this :) I created dozens of email groups each for a different theme it was just one more way to try to find people who would share my dream it's a dream of everybody sharing in a world where everybody's caring oh so it may not be realistic for some but it's what keeps me from going numb call it idealistic or dumb it's just the way I am and I'll keep my doors wide open and do the best I can with hope that someday we'll all understand I hope you are staying as positive as you can and figuring out ways to reach out to more people with hope that someone will return the same kind of feelings and desires you can feel inside of you... this is the hope that keeps me going no matter what... I believe in it... even when I'm not playing with a 5 year old :) honest love, ric "love while you can, cry when you have to be who you are, that's a part of the plan await your arrival with simple survival and one day we'll all understand...
