Christina Moses Instagram – started writing this a few mornings ago. work in progress…
WE RISE
from death
& scorched earth
we rise.
build new.
hearts and palms lifted toward sky
we praise the life we’ve been given.
with humble hearts &
trembling hands we lock arms.
grief stricken and tear stained
rage tethered to each beat
we come as we are.
holding each others gaze.
breath by breath.
in this moment.
and then the next.
we find our footing as we
walk toward the horizon we envision revealed by each step we take
by each courageous turn toward the wise unknown.
the promise becomes the light
when we can learn to feel in the dark.
traversing the inner landscape alone seeds the strength we need to regenerate.
together.
the strength we need to co create with earth, her creatures, the elements, each other. please, with. each. other.
we can create something new.
sustainable.
impermeable within the reality of impermanence.
while not escaping the truth: there is nothing outside of ourselves that we can hold on to. our safety doesn’t come from what can burn.
we are intimate friends with this now.
bone deep knowledge.
building inner sanctuary is our foundation
community is our wealth our currency
and we can create a universe in our communities
beyond what we ever thought possible.
may we be brave.
may we be honest.
may we be kind.
may we be love.
may
we
be
love.
