Do you know the story of the two frogs that fall into a well? One of them surrendered and died, while the other one wriggled and survived.

I don’t believe that I can convince you that another world is possible and that almost always things can be done differently, but I can tell you the questions I ask myself:

Imagine how would you feel if you don’t act.

Imagine what it would be like if you were changing the world whenever you are scared, whenever you are angry or whenever you feel pangs of conscience.

And, imagine what it would be like if you were changing the world because you love something and somebody, because you are happy about something and somebody, or because you care about something and somebody and whenever you try to imagine what it could be like if it was different and better and that is why are you so brave?

Imagine how nice it is when you influence bringing new order to those few things you can influence to.

Imagine how paradoxical the term carefree is. Yes, I would like to be carefree, as I believe I was, but at the same time it means not carrying about anything, and I don’t like that part. I want to care and to do all I can to make things around me better. I mean, I wouldn’t like to spend all my life in the rhythm of dancing music (sometimes I just need another type of rhythm), but, I like being able to imagine life in the rhythm of dancing music.

If it is singing “I’m braking glasses, my hands are bleeding” on one side, while “I need a world open for running” on the other side, it is very easy for me to say where I would like to be. What about you?

Rhythm Changes is something I imagined while playing with words, so I spoke it loud, and the Regional network “Objection for peace”, with a great joy, as my friends from Peace Action from Prilep says, realized it. So, here we are with a brochure which empowers people to wriggle, a CD on which there are artists with an attitude and a web site which I introduce to you with great excitement.

I will not say that this was a great idea. I know that this was my great idea, because I can’t even count how many people put their effort and how our expectations grew up along the way, as well as our enthusiasm. But I’ll challenge you – give us a better idea, because we don’t feel like stopping.

Welcome in. Dream loudly. Friends will show up and realize those dreams. Wriggle.
