NOW is the moment of power!
The moment of Great Change.
Listen to the rhythm
of this blessed convergence,
birthed from the love and prayers
of all those who came before us
and all those who are coming.
They are fed by our love and prayers.
Free from remaining ghosts.
Built upon the foundation
of milleniums of ceremonies,
held with care,
to uphold the sacredness
of our Mother Earth,
our ancestors and our children's worth.

It is the coming together
of all tribes and nations
for respecting
each other, our selves,
fertile lands, sacred waters,
clean air and pure fires
which warm and nourish our bodies,
and spirits inspired.
We are all connected
by this delicate thread of life
we are woven together
into this circle with love.
we must be in all the way.
we must journey deep
into the heart of hearts
We must give thanks for all ways
that honor the sacred
and all beings rising
in the love of all that is.
we must persist to resist
the colonialization
of our minds, bodies,
our temples, and our altars

take a breath
and listen to your guiding stars
take a breath and let it fill you with awareness of our interconnectedness,
our sacredness and our truth.
take a breath
and take action,
give back
to all that has given you
this moment to breath.
Our Earth, our trees
Our ancestors and our children
depend on us being in right alignment,
and consciously choosing
where we place our attention,
intention and energy
in dream and in waking
Souls are merging.

We are in this together,
so take a long deep breath
and listen closely
to this planet,
to your heart,
to the original peoples
with roots deep in the earth
and wisdom that flows like rivers.
we are each being called
to do what we can
to honor the memories,
the living essence
of our ancestry,
all woven together
with blood and tears,
across distant lands and waters
the futures of our relations
depend on us
to be about our purpose in passion
to uphold the sacredness of life,
honoring our roots,
our language, our cultures
to follow our dreams,
to speak up and stand firm
for all that is sacred.

breath and listen,
to this movement gaining momentum,
it is the purpose of your hearts beating.
