We can still share the Earth, in other words. But recipes, not ingredients. Ideas, not cargo containers. From the keyboard, not the driver's seat.

Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.

Fingertips light-hearted, I take to the open net,
Healthy, free, the web before me,
The long online path before me, leading wherever I choose.
