Today I weep…
for my own body
I choose life.
For all women everywhere
I choose sovereignty
over their own body
…and choice.
I am scared for humanity today.
Maybe this will activate
a call to action.
It feels like a threshold moment.
There is intensity and fear
permeating the ethers.
So many feelings
woven together…
Shock…
Outrage…
Anger…
Disbelief…
Speak to the shock.
Tell it of the supremacy
and power over culture
at the root of this decision.
Outrageous disappointment
Mixed with shock.
Government is telling women
What they can
and can’t do with their bodies,
Robbing their souls.
It is hard to hear the other side.
Incredible disappointment
Covers my ears.
I feel my heart breaking.
I hear someone say,
“This is some fucked up shit”
I agree.
This decision affects the world…
Not the politics
but the very humanity
of the world…
The world soul.
I am
Present
To my own truth
And the truth of others.
I ponder peace and place.
I step into subtle activism.
As something is kindled
In the core of my being
That can not be ignored.
Know what you stand for.
Peace…
Presence…
Purpose…
Love…
Power with, not power over.
Know what you stand for.
Know what you stand against.
Grudge and anger
boil over today
in many souls,
Making conversations challenging.
Something has changed in America.
When I was 20 I had a choice.
As it stands now,
my granddaughter
will not have a choice.
Today, I am present
to the paradox
of this moment in time…
A moment when a culture
is stepping backward,
Removing personal freedom,
Removing rights for women.
How can this be?
How?
Why?
Why?
