What would you do if you weren't afraid?

Posted on May 17th, 2007 by KEITH : MODERN WIZARD KEITH
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 21, 2007:

When I am not afraid, I will become a juggernaut of idealism. My character will not suffer at the hands of my reputation. My principles will be a matter of life and death, my pride will not. My deeds will bring peace rather that fame. I will handle the smallest details with the greatest of gravity, and the gravest matters with the greatest of levity I will re-manifest myself as the vagabond captain of a great sky-ship. I will build this hybrid-blimp with my own skilled hands. It will be crewed by my fellow fearless compatriots. With this ship we will make conjugate with the world. We will love it with a relentlessly gentle passion. We will become amorous paladins of understanding. Caring with the ferocity and grace of samurai warriors. Discourse our swords. Patients our sheaths. Fighting the false logic of hatred, We will travel to the Congo, Bosnia, Texas. We will travel to these foreign spaces, not to preach, but seeking. Seeking those parts of our hearts which know what it means to be Bantu, Bosniak, and Texan. Once aware we will seek growth. Growth that will truly embody the cultural desires of the people. Seeing every dilemma, and dispute as a vehicle for change. Collecting these experiences, and trading them like a divine universal currency I will become rich and fat. I will sit enormous like Buddha with a belly full of warm contentment, and then I will be still, when I am not afraid.
