Fear,

uncertainty, doubt.

Our attention spans are so short, so

fractured, so consumed, that we can no

longer appreciate silence.

Instant gratification,

we demand it,

and we cannot wait.

We exist in a place where fear,

uncertainty and doubt dominate our

thoughts.

We take, take,

before somebody else takes from us.

That narrative must change.

What if we were to have faith,

belief,

trust,

patience. What if the answer was right

here all along?

What if we were to just give things time?

Great things do take time.

There are so many false actors, so many

pretenders, so much —

and it's starting to wear thin.

I am tired,

we are all tired,

beaten, pummeled over by

everything and everyone.

Curdled by guilt, greed and the desperate

need to win

at the cost of the very people with whom

we should be working together.

Manifest plainness,

embrace simplicity,

reduce selfishness,

have few desires.

It should be easy.

Change the way you think, change the

things you think you need, change the way

you see.

Because together we can do anything.

We will build a BRIDGE

and together we will cross it.

It may take time, but all we ask is

patience.

We are here to stay.

We are not Ryoshi,

we are not the Many,

we are nothing much.

But we are the Mikaboshi,

and we will reclaim what is ours.

Join us.
