  you can love whomever you will
  you can travel any country where your heart leads
  and know (we) will love you still.

  you can gather friends around
  you can choose one special one.
  And the only measure of your words and your deeds
  will be the love you leave behind when you're done.

• It is not OK in this culture to talk to friends about causes you believe in, much less to ask them to join in. It's OK to blast perfect strangers with crass messages every hour of the day, but it's a tinge embarrassing, it brings up some shyness, it seems an intrusion, it risks rejection to share real heartfelt commitments. It's easier to share our cynicism with strangers than our dreams with friends.

  Donella Meadows
