I'm trying to say that there was an 80s we could have had, and 40 years later there's still a 2020s we could have.
It seems like we've lost decades but it's actually not too late. It's always just as close as wanting it. Time means nothing in the place where the glow comes from.
But you have to want it.
You have to know it's there, or even just hope and guess, and then you have to reach in to the dreamspace and try to hold the glow in your head, in your heart, in your hands and feet.
