Oooof ~ what a time to be alive….
As natural disasters become a wave of the future, it becomes imperative to cultivate and foster communities of care wherever you are.
I witnessed it firsthand when the CZU fires knocked at my front door. Community rallied and cared for one another, sharing love and resources like our lives and wellbeing depended on it. It did. It still does.
To recognize our interconnectedness everyday is key. To see the humanity everyday in everyone is a requirement of living well on this earth.
We live in a time where there is so much seeking to divide us, to fuel flames of division and ire with our neighbors, family and friends because of differences in cultures, beliefs and opinions.
The truth is, we need eachother. And we need each other living and thriving and loving like our lives and wellbeing depends on it. Because it does.
Until we escape this beautiful hellish illusion….but if we’re living here, using this platform, we are in it.
Until that shifts, I will use my voice and my body to say the things that I feel called to share that speak to deeper truths beckoning us all.
The choices and energies we feed in every aspect of our lives and those across the planet.
We are living in a time where extraction and desecration are justified and inextricably tied to our system of government and finance at least in the western world which then rapes and pillages the non-western world to meet the endless consumer demands from an increasingly disconnected society.
It leaves many feeling alone, afraid and in a constant state of survival.
The systems that were designed to protect these pockets of power have outlived their usefulness and we are experiencing the effects of the crumbling.
Mother Earth is done with being extracted and disrespected. She is showing her strength and the beings that visit here will be reminded of their finite existence.
It is said that these types of power structures come and go and their time is will rise and fade away, but it in this current iteration of human history, there are more people than ever before.
There is more extraction than ever before to keep up with the rapidly progressing technologies we have created.
I have deep hope for a brighter future, but I believe it will come at a great sacrifice because evolution demands that.
I pray that we will all have the eyes to see
The ears to hear
The hearts to openness
And the willingness
To say the things that need to be said
And hear the things that need to be heard.
Our pain if not felt will be repeated and the ripples unknown, we can only avoid what bubbles within for so long before that pot boils over.
We reap the effects of everything we deny whether conscious or not. Just as we revel in the successes we cultivate, we swim in the juices of that which we destroy.
I pray now
I pray for those in Southern California
I pray for my family there who feel a million miles away
I pray for all marginalized and privileged folks everywhere
I pray for the people in Gaza, Congo, Sudan,
I pray for the United States, the western, eastern, northern and southern world,
The colonized and the colonizers
The people everywhere with no voice
I pray for those who’s voices drown out suffering of their neighbors
I pray for the people who do not see their own fear
I pray for those who are afraid
I pray for those suffering the wrath of nature
I pray for those who understand the deep connectedness of everything
I pray for all
I pray for love
I pray that you be seen, known and met for the glorious being that you are incarnated into
I pray for healing, deep and sustained
For all
For we are all one
Our disconnection is illusion, it is our undoing
May we remember our hearts
Our light
The love that lives and breathes through us with every action and inaction
May we remember our True Nature
May we remember the God in us
The Jesus in us
The Buddha, Krishna, Allah, Shakti in us
May we remember the Love
The only truth
May we be protected
May we protect each other
And all the tender beings that rely on our remembering
And so it is ❤️🩹🙏🏼
