	PETE'S CHALLENGE (joe's revision) We are issuing a challenge. Given that whatever building you currently reside in, work in, play in, create in, love in, bore yourself in, count your miseries in could be leveled at the volition of no one but the earth herself. Given that by grace of your day-to-day living habits, the air you breathe or a hiccup in your DNA, your life could end suddenly or slowly in a most painful and unstoppable way. Given that the oceans could rise around you, the sky could fall on top of you, or the ground could open underneath you and swallow you up at any moment without notice, hesitation or consideration. Given that all these things are true, we challenge you to step outside and find the sun, whether the sun is in the sky, in the faces of the people you see, or within your own heart. Given that all these things are true, we challenge you to see how these facts become a freedom in that they show you how powerless you are. Given that all these things are true, we challenge you to see that you cannot own anything, and to not see anything as owning you. All this existence is but a moment, and everything is borrowed. If you can see these things to be true, we challenge you to give what you can to the aid in Haiti. Be it a status update raising awareness among your friends, or in the form of dollars, if you can spare them. And then in 30 days, maybe you can do the same for whoever needs it then. And then again 30 days after that. Everything you have, every moment, every breath, every beat is on loan. You have the freedom to give it to whomever you want. We challenge you.
