I hope for a world in which everyone lives a 100% sustainable lifestyle.
I hope for united families and a turn around in the outrageously high divorce rate.
I hope for a return to natural birth (not c-section), natural feeding (breast), natural eating (something with a peel instead of a package), natural healing (prayer instead of pills) and natural living (in harmony with nature, oneself and G-d).
I hope for happy children that can learn at their own rhythm and according to their natural curiosity (homeschooling vs. formal education).
I hope we can survive the destruction we've already done to our planet.
I hope we get the hell out of the Middle East (my passport says US citizen, so I still say 'we' after 15 years in Mexico).
I hope governments disintegrate entirely so they can stop lying to us and we can stop believing in them.
i hope all people with a desire to create art in whatever form find the a way to do so, making it a higher priority than anything else with no excuses and no obstacle to great.
I hope people someday dance and sing as the Spirit moves them without shame.
I hope to have a garden and that everything I eat come from it.
I hope to have fresh eggs for breakfast everyday.

Why is hope crazy?
Hope is crazy because most people don't have it.
Hope is crazy because it's easier, less painful, and less effort to be cynical.
Hope is crazy because the 60s and 70s are far behind us.
Hope is crazy because you may have had it once, but were let down.
Hope is crazy because everybody's out for him/herself.
Hope is crazy because it takes up precious energy from making your first million.
Hope is crazy because the world is going to end soon anyway.
Hope is crazy because the ozone layer is already destroyed and no one is going to pull those soccer moms out of their 8 cyl. SUVs.
Hope is crazy because hope is for the young, the slightly imbalanced and the very old.
Hope is crazy because it means keeping your heart open.
Hope is crazy because there's nothing to hope for.
Here's a quote I happened upon while googling something else:
I want to say something to all of you
Who have become a part
Of the fabric of my life.
The color and texture
Which you have brought into my being
Have become a song,
And I want to sing it forever.
There is an energy in us
Which makes things happen
When the paths of other persons
Touch ours
And we have to be there
And let it happen.
When the time
Of our particular sunset comes
Our thing, our accomplishment
Won't really matter a great deal.
But the clarity and care
With which we have loved others
Will speak with vitality
Of the great gift of life
We have been for each other.

Hope is crazy because it's cheesy, corny, silly, naive and a little ridiculous.
In the bible it says, "Now these three remain, faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love."
If we've already lost our faith and our hope, what comes next?

Norbet's music is still pretty much the same as it was in the 70's - very sincere, reeking of polyester and Kahlil Gibran.
