we’re gonna need to get organized
live beyond boundaries
soften our hearts
talk to each other
we’re gonna need to leave behind our baggage
relinquish our comfort
release our control
co-exist
we’re gonna need to give up our addictions
confront our pain
ask for help
give more than we take
we’re gonna need to dream bigger
work harder
get dirty
take time
we’re gonna need to remember
we’re gonna need to forgive
we’re gonna need to let go
we’re gonna need to let go
we’re gonna need to feel fully
revive our intuition
make up our minds
enact change
we’re gonna need to look at ourselves
reconcile our ignorance
sacrifice shame
make amends
we’re gonna need to need less
peel away the nonessential
go hungry
break a sweat
we’re gonna need to heal our fears
tell our secrets
share with our enemies
love ourselves
we’re gonna need to study existence
refine our dreams
mediate our shadows
cure our disbelief
we’re gonna need to practice magic
we’re gonna need to cherish water
we’re gonna need to grieve
we’re gonna need to move on
we’re gonna need to stay focused
we’re gonna need to be strong
tend our commitment to beauty
fuel our devotion to truth
we’re gonna need to pray
we’re gonna need to follow through
endure burning
we’re gonna need to
surrender
we’re gonna need to trust
we’re gonna need to give light
we’re gonna give light
we are light
we are

Awaken ~ by Naima

Picture
we are in the wake
of a great shifting

awaken

you better free your mind
before they illegalize thought

there’s a war going on

the first casualty was truth
and it’s inside you

the universe is counting on our belief
that faith is more powerful than fear
and in that the shifting moment
we’ll all remember why we’re here

in a world where you’re assassinated for having a dream
and the rich spend 9 billion a year to control our ideas
and visions are televised so things aren’t what they seem

we gotta believe
in a world where
there’s room enough for everyone
to breathe

cause reality is made up of
7 billion thoughts
who made up their minds
of what’s real and what’s not

so I stopped believing
in false idols of war
greed and hate
is not worth my faith

my mind’s dedicated
to justice
my soul is devoted
to love

and love is God
and God is truth
and truth is you
and you are me
and I am everything
and everything is nothing
and nothing is the birthplace of creation
and transformation is possible
and you are proof

we were born right now
for a reason
we can be whatever
we give ourselves the power to be

and right now we need
day dreamers
gate keepers
bridge builders
soul speakers
web weavers
light bearers
food growers
wound healers
trail blazers
truth sayers
life lovers
peace makers

give what you most deeply desire
to give
every moment you are choosing to live
or you are waiting

why would a flower hesitate to open?
now is the only moment
rain drop let go
become the ocean
​
possibility is as wide
as the space
we create
to hold it

You are rest for my soul  ~ Rumi

6/5/2016

You are rest for my soul,
a surprising joy for my bitterness.
Imagination has never imagined
what you give to me.
The sound of someone whistling in the street,
or asking questions, if that person brings word of you,
those sounds are worth more than all the world’s poetry.
There is nothing I want but your presence.
In friendship, time dissolves.
Life is a cup. This connection is pure wine.
What else are cups for?
I used to have twenty thousand different desires.

~ Rumi
