Right now, I am in Fallujah. I am in Darfur. I am on Sixty-third and Park having dinner with Ellen Barkin and Ron Perelman.. Right now, I'm on Lafayette and Astor waiting to hit you up for change so I can get high. I'm taking a walk through the Rose Garden with George Bush. I'm helping Donald Rumsfeld get a good night's sleep.. I was in that cave with Osama, and on that plane with Mohamed Atta..And what I want you to know is that your work has barely begun. And what I want you to trust is the efficacy of divine love if practiced consciously. And what I need you to believe is that if you hate who I love, you do not know me at all. And make no mistake, "Who I Love" is every last one. I am every last one. People ask of me: Where are you? Where are you?.. Verily I ask of you to ask yourself: Where are you? Where are you?.Stephen Adly Guirgis
About This Quote
In this quote, Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead delivers a call to action that is meant to motivate his audience to go out and change the world. Asking people to "ask yourself where you are" is a call to self-examination. In light of this, Garcia suggests that if they ask themselves where they are, they will figure out where they need to be. He suggests that the world is out of alignment with our true nature.
And in order for us to have a chance at being happy, we must align ourselves with the highest ideals of love and compassion. This means looking within ourselves to see what kind of person we want to be in this world, rather than looking outside ourselves for who best reflects our ideal self.
