Our addictions to nationalism and nationalistic agendas must end.
We must stop fueling the fire for nationalistic ideologies that continue to fragment and diminish us.
I had this dream last year. I was a speck of light in the Milky Way Galaxy, flying away from planet Earth, a place I called home for so many lifetimes.
