Something Permanent

We have a constant appetite. We're never satisfied. Always wanting exposes our human need for more, for something lasting, eternal. Though all fashions repeat, songs end, stories conclude, performers bow, there is only one thing that lasts through all of our art in time, the Love of God. Here is our history, here is our present. What will we create that lasts?
I am in 2011.  I have no make up on.  I have no product in my hair.  In fact, I haven’t had a root lift in probably three months.  This is what it looks like to be me in 2011.  We are the recycled generation, reusing what we had before.  We pull from the eras that made us, from the 1800s to the 1920s 30s 40s 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s and now.  Think of all that was created in that century.  The art, the perspectives, the fashions, the music!  Mozart to Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley to The Beatles.  We are given hundreds of years to learn from.  Who will we be in one hundred years?  What will 2020 see?  We are the frugal generation, the goodwill DIY paint it white and make it new again era.  We let our roots grow out and call it the Ombre to declare it a fashion.  We don’t have a lot of money to spend, and we don’t mind.  We are content and reevaluating what is important.  We experience nature.  We appreciate time.  We are slowing down as technology speeds.  We look up to Apple for the next big thing.  What will we create?  I want to be the Ralph Waldo Emerson meets Peggy Lee of my time.  I want to invent like Edison and bring light to people years from now.  God, show me how.
