4. Sowing is free. Everyone has the right to sow their ideas, without any coercion from intelligentia or bureaucracy.
5. There is no longer an artist class. we are all capable of planting and harvesting. We are all going to show everyone and the world our capacity for creation.
6. “All of us” are writers, housewives, bosses and employees, clandestine and funny, wise and crazy.
7. And the great miracle will no longer to be able to walk in the clouds or walk on water. The great miracle will be the fact that every day, from morning to night, we will be able to walk on Earth.
