I know that we're using Facebook now for posts and networking, and clearly, FB is a fantastic forum for this. However, Scott and I really want the concept of Revolution to continue--in fact we believe it's critical. There is an importance for us, for me, about linking daily acts to the wider socio-political field. Rhetoric like "think global-act local" are in place in our culture, but I am often amazed at how little this has been realized; I think we're only at the beginning of being able to grasp what this might mean actually. Revoltion is about that in a form-bikes, community, joy, teaching and learning for example. From where we stand it is impossible not to link our seemingly mundane everyday choices to they way of the world--no pressure, but everything matters.
We're endlessly hopeful.
We know that everyone has their own political beliefs rooted in important and personal rationales and experiences, but somehow, when you can just talk about choices we make, and the reasons behind them--we leap out of ideology and into life. We believe in a life firmly connected to relationship--to the people we love, to the community and to the planet. The concept of Revolution is for us, about taking a stand. This little song is about sitting, walking, running, and ultimately about flying. :) It seems to me that our passion, or stand, around biking is about "spinning." Adding that to the below little piece would ruin the song, but I think you might be able to get my humorous attempt to say what's on my mind.
