11/6/2020 0 Comments Voted: Shannon WillsI Voted I voted today. I dropped my heart into the ballot box And cast my vote for the world I want to see. I voted for country over party, And planet over country. I voted for everyone, and their dog. I voted for the ancestors, And the dreams they prayed we would fulfill. I voted for the children, Carnivals and innocence and joy. I voted for the elders, Soft wisdom, busy hands weaving webs of time. I voted for the Divine Feminine To rise again and take her throne. I voted for the moon. I voted for owls and crows and croaking toads And ancient forests teeming with life. I voted for the Great Spirit To guide us toward our rightful place At the feet of the sacred, Through the gates of conscience, That we may find our way back home. And of course, I voted for love. Now what to do But wait for the ballots to be counted? Meanwhile, rivers roar, bones rattle, Past and future ages hold their breath. They are waiting to see If our hearts will reawaken... Eyes open and ears pricked forward, Songs on the tips of their tongues, Ready to welcome us back to the chorus of life. I voted today. I voted for you and me, free. I voted that we'll make it Back home together, alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaU2HvRhCPw
What is Brave Space in These Pandemic Times
It is the ability to feel loneliness and know we’re not alone It’s the ability to feel the anxiety of loved ones, of our selves … to hear the words “I’ve never felt like this before” … and to hold this anxiety like a tiny sparrow shaking within our loving hands while we softly hum songs of hope into the essence of its being It’s being able to cry into open space for my sons in solidarity with all mothers and fathers everywhere for their sons and daughters It’s the ability to anguish without collapse, to hear the pain of another with compassion, and still know where I stand and where you stand It’s being able to pray, clear and strong, for all beings, for all businesses, for the world and all its life, still It’s the decision to see the bright light of day through anger, greed, aggression and oppression It’s the ability to pray as if our world depended on it, and it does It’s the desire to make a heartful connection despite all political efforts to divide, separate, and conquer It’s the ability to sing songs of peace, of inspiration to drum rhythms of freedom and hope in the face of chaos, uncertainty and fear To paint, create, write, dance, knit patterns of harmony and wellness, of balance, love, and care into the very fabric of our existence into the core of our beinginess into the matrix of our world. This is brave space in these pandemic times. Written 10/30/2020, by Judith Piazza 10/25/2020 0 Comments Keep Going On Song: The BengsonsReally worth lesson

Think in ways you've never thought before If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message Larger than anything you've ever heard, Vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats. Think that someone may bring a bear to your door, maybe wounded and deranged; or think that a moose Has risen out of the lake, and he's carrying on his antlers A child of your own whom you've never seen. When someone knocks on the door, think that he's about To give you something large: tell you you're forgiven, Or that it's not necessary to work all the time, or that it's Been decided that if you lie down no one will die. ©Robert Bly |
