I’ve been taking a break from publishing blog posts in order to focus on other priorities for a few more weeks. However, this came through when I woke up at 3 AM this morning, so I’m sharing. ❤
We Are Being Called
A great opportunity has arisen
to awaken collectively
from the trance we have
been in for so long
and shift our priorities
to care more about the
most vulnerable among us
and within us
than the usual preoccupations.
It is high time to relinquish
our need to control
and realize we are all
in this together,
so much more connected
than separate.
The time has come
to step out of the caricatures
we have become
and inhabit more fully
our truest, wisest self.
Despite its abundance,
Fear is not what is most real.
There is far greater
energy available.
We are being called
to consider that how we
believe our life should be
is deeply flawed.
To unclench.
To become quiet enough
to discern what matters most
and follow the deepest voice,
not the loudest.
The old ways of creating
unreal enemies and others
and fixating on differences
must end. Can you hear?
We are being called
to surrender all this divisive
competition and striving
and embrace with compassion
our common humanity.
