2023-02-11 We are Champions for Change, trying hard to sit still enough and feel, willing to be quiet enough and listen, swimming together in the waters of White Supremacy Culture, diving into dialogue about the rectangular piece of paper floated in front of us…when a riptide splits through the image we co-created and tears the $20 dollar bill in half.
rip! how did that feel in your body?
✩
remembering
in my head the
fearful thought
that this might
happen and
watching it
happen
shot straight
into my throat
wanting to
scream out
stop wait
oh no oh yeah
I knew it
oh no now what
but there must be
a way to right this
wrong to get back
what we had if
we ever had it oh
wait did I ever
have it none of it
not my business no
matter, right?
Turn my aching head and Look the other way.
♡
look with eyes
and center
warming
then
releasing and opening to freedom
of spaciousness
with laughing
reckless joy
embracing care and
love unconditionally and carelessly
and remembering to throw
fullness into the air
that surrounds us
in the bright
worldwide
and the
warm
home
inside
our shelter
and
my heart!
