It's a stretch, I know, but imagine we displace patriarchy. Not overthrow, through marches and ferociously-worded signs; not through boycotting, withholding or blackmail. Just displace it. Agree to something gentler, more user-friendly, more inclusive. Coax one another into solace and generosity. Suggest billionaires use their wealth to source the dreams of strangers - because it’d be fun, because it would feel good. Make space for the violent to sob instead of strike. Be creative, fierce, and merciful enough to share leadership widely and wildly.
I guess everyone has a different version of Freedom.
To live without expectations is to live in freedom
this
this is the kindling and the hardwood that will feed the fire that I am
Personal Responsibility
It seemed irresponsible to be in the now when so many things, possible or gone past, were looming.
When I woke up, I found my only responsibility: be here, now.
Is Growth the only way?
Change is my birthright.
Whenever I close my eyes, I say, Enough. Enough now. Time for rest.
Celebrate the Gem in the middle of it all
it’s never about what is offered
it’s always about how it is received
I can not fix the way this is going to land in my heart.
I can create a fertile and lush playing field for all that lands there.
Sorrows and joys
are coming so fast now,
hard upon one another’s heels.
There’s nothing to do
but enjoy them.
I want You to know who I am.
2023 Blessing
May your life make you strong and tender.
tend to what is right in front of you. that’s the only thing that’s real.
the rest of it is a narrative you’re creating..
Please don't use that antiquated tool to assess something so new.
The old system of weights and measurements is useless here.
May I do what is mine to do with clarity, compassion, and joy.
Flapping coasting and soaring are not the only options.
I can let go of my ideas of scarcity
when I embrace what is abundant right now.
