POV 1:
A Turn Toward Hope
e. Then We Share Our Aspirations (Goals):
Simply,
We Seek to Inspire You to Hope and to Express!
We believe your contributions will yield
a thriving catalogue of the wealth
of our personal and collective
hopes, stories and creations
that piece, tie and weave
together our histories,
unify our communities
as we build our six
life-care values,
the very values
we hope will
inform our
votes in our
upcoming
midterm
elections
and far
beyond.
f. But Really, How Does It Work?
Simply,
justcareforall
will use the internet for good!
Really, though, to learn how it works,
you have to read the next three steps
and their six sub-steps.
In short, basically,
justcareforall
wants to catalogue our stories.
Actually, well, figuratively speaking,
(hopefully literally, too, if we are lucky,)
we are creating a virtual crazy piece quilt,
which in some ways is as real as the real thing.
Then again, ever try snuggling up
with your laptop?
Doesn’t exactly keep your feet warm,
figuratively speaking.
g. You have said that already.
Really, what's this HOPE stuff about?
Simply,
101HOPE means One on One, Help One Person Express
Okay, now listen up! This is mandatory!
You are now on the “101Help One Person Express.”
And, on this expressway,
everything travels very slooowly,
to provide ample opportunity for all of us …
You, me and the shybees.
Everyone must help one person express
Him/Her/Themselves.
Now, there is nothing wrong with
the larger scale projects.
Nope, not at all. They are fine.
Here, though, we are taking baby steps,
starting out with the easy peazy.
Just target one shybee. Okay, okay,
“Select,” one person.
You will probably default to
your best friend, but,
strangers earn you more points.
Of course, helping them
in other ways counts, too.
Here’s the awkward catch:
You must tell us about it!
Yup! You all have cell phones?!
Hit, “Record,” and tell on each other.
Let’s jump-start our Hope!
Care to Care?
Like To Help?
Hopelessly Hopeful?
Hold on to hope.
With hope, we can mend.
With hope for tomorrow
we can transcend.
Seriously,
We promise you laughter, comradery and joy.
So spread it. Share it. Celebrate it!
101HOPE is our 101 (One on One)
Course in Social Hope for Growth,
an experiential, visceral study course.
Social 101HOPE is our first course in the
bigger, sometimes heavier
–though it should not be–
–ironically, better called–
–up-lifting phenomena of–
Spiritual HOPE!
h. Cataloguing Our
HOPE, Storytelling and Creating:
(Our Internet Equivalent
of a
Crazy Piece Quilt)
Together, our
HOPES, stories and creations
reflect the
texture and depth of our
vast range of experiences
that form the patches, pieces,
tapestries and weavings of life,
that we will sew together like
a virtual crazy piece quilt with
our shared threads of humanity
and the internet’s connectivity.
Apropos,
we present a
story from not too long
ago, The Seerz of Wazizwilbi,
told in the long storyform tradition.
We hope this tale will be the beginning
of many more uploaded verbal & visual stories.
i. Oh, AlsO:
Just
For Fun,
while wondering in the wilderness,
playing in your backyard, downtown,
at the park or in your schoolyard,
if you spread your arms, close your eyes,
turn for better reception,
pivot your hands, palms up,
then listen carefully, quietly,
you can feel/hear
the Seerz’s words
riding on the wind:
Alafia, Salom, As-salamu alaykum
She:kon skennenkp: wa ken!
Sukho Deegayuko Bhava
Peace be with You
Ya’at’eeh
Hey
