Aliens
May you live in interesting times.
Perhaps most see it as a curse to live through upheaval, but I like to see the potential. Chains may be bound too tight, and walls may be built too high. Sometimes, the world shakes itself free, and that is our chance to show what stuff we are made of. What can we offer? What do I offer? Bravery, perhaps even revelry, in interesting times. Adventure, perhaps even heroism, when the world turns sideways.
A chance to rethink things. A chance to ponder ideas that have been put down for so long. A chance to think something crazy, something real.
